PROMPT PLANETESIMAL FORMATION BEYOND THE SNOW LINE

PROMPT PLANETESIMAL FORMATION BEYOND THE SNOW LINE

We develop a simple model to predict the radial distribution of planetesimal formation. The model is based on the observed growth of dust to millimeter-sized particles, which drift radially, pile-up, and form planetesimals where the stopping time and dust-to-gas ratio intersect the allowed region fo...
