2 Two protoplanetary discs (Andrews et al., 2016) (ALMA Partnership, 2015) Two ALMA images of protoplanetary discs HL Tau is 450 light years away, 1 million years old TW Hydrae is 176 light years away, 10 million years old Emission comes mainly from its the 1% mass in mm-sized pebbles Pebbles are formed by collisions between micron-sized dust grains Protoplanetary discs live for a few million years 2 / 9
3 Big questions in planet formation Size and time Dust µ m Pebbles mm cm Planetesimals 10 1,000 km Planets 10,000 km How do pebbles gather to form km-scale planetesimals? How do the cores of giant planets accrete rapidly enough to accrete gas? How are the different planetary classes gas giants, ice giants, super-earths and terrestrial planets formed? How are habitable planets seeded with life-essential molecules like H 2O? 3 / 9
4 Forming planetesimals through the streaming instability ESA 9 9 ESA ESO (Johansen et al., PPVI, 2014) I Dense pebble filaments emerge through the streaming instability (Youdin & Goodman, ApJ, 2005; Johansen et al., Nature, 2007; Bai & Stone, ApJ, 2010) I Filaments collapse by gravity to form planetesimals with sizes from 10 km to several 100 km (Johansen et al., 2015, Science Advances; Simon et al., ApJ, 2016) I Most mass in 100-km-scale planetesimals, as in asteroid belt I Small bodies like comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko are piles of primordial pebbles, as observed for 67P (Poulet et al., MNRAS, 2016) I Many planetesimals form as binaries, similar to those observed in the Kuiper belt beyond Neptune (Noll et al., Icarus, 2008) 4/9
5 Pebble accretion Hill radius marks the region of gravitational influence of a growing protoplanet Planetesimal is scattered by protoplanet Most planetesimals that enter the Hill sphere of a protoplanet are simply scattered less than 0.1% are accreted Pebble spirals towards protoplanet due to gas friction Pebbles spiral in towards the protoplanet due to gas friction Very high pebble accretion rates Core growth to 10 M Possible to form solid cores of 0 6 Earth masses before the gaseous 10 5 Pebbles protoplanetary disc is accreted 10 4 after a few million years r/au (Johansen & Lacerda, MNRAS, 2010; Ormel & Klahr, A&A, 2010; Lambrechts & Johansen, A&A, 2012) t/yr Planetesimals Fragments 5 / 9
