This project investigates how micron-sized dust particles in protoplanetary discs grow into planet-sized bodies through hydrodynamical simulations. By analyzing the relationship between dust and gas, it aims to reconstruct the complete size distribution of dust, enhancing our understanding of planet formation without r…
Planets form in discs of gas and dust around young stars.
Within these discs, micron-sized dust particles need to clump together to grow 14 orders of magnitude to form Earth-like planets as well as the cores of giant planets.
It is a major challenge to understand dust growth from start to finish.
State of the art observations provide spectacular glimpses of the dust distribution at a limited range of sizes:
ALMA produces images of the thermal emission of mm-sized dust, while instruments such as…
