Interstellar Planetesimals: Potential Seeds for Planet Formation?

چکیده

We investigate the trapping of interstellar objects during early stages star and planet formation. Our results show a very wide range possible values that will be narrowed down as population becomes better characterized. When assuming background number density 2$\cdot$10$^{15}$ pc$^{-3}$ (based on 1I/'Oumuamua detection), velocity dispersion 30 km/s an equilibrium size distribution, captured by molecular cloud expected to incorporated each protoplanetary disk its formation is O(10$^{9}$) (50 cm-5 m), O(10$^{5}$) (5 m-50 O(10$^{2}$) m-500 O(10$^{-2}$) (500 m-5 km). After formed, it could capture from ISM lifetime 6$\cdot$10$^{11}$ 2$\cdot$10$^{8}$ 6$\cdot$10$^{4}$ 20 km); in open cluster where 1% stars have undergone formation, these increase factor O(10$^{2}$-10$^{3}$). These trapped might large enough rapidly grow into larger planetesimals via direct accretion sub-cm sized dust grains before they drift due gas drag, helping overcome meter-size barrier, acting "seeds" for They should considered future models potential spread biological material across Galaxy.

Gravoturbulent Formation of Planetesimals

We explore the effect of magnetorotational turbulence on the dynamics and concentrations of boulders in local box simulations of a sub-Keplerian protoplanetary disc. The solids are treated as particles each with an independent space coordinate and velocity. We find that the turbulence has two effects on the solids. 1) Meter and decameter bodies are strongly concentrated, locally up to a factor ...

Can planetesimals left over from terrestrial planet formation produce the lunar Late Heavy Bombardment?

The lunar Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) defines a time between ∼3.8 to possibly 4.1 Gy ago when the Nectarian and early-Imbrium basins on the Moon with reasonably well-constrained ages were formed. Some have argued that these basins were produced by a terminal cataclysm that caused a spike in the inner Solar System impactor flux during this interval. Others have suggested the basins were formed ...

Planetesimals to Protoplanets. I. Effect of Fragmentation on Terrestrial Planet Formation

We present results from a dozen direct N-body simulations of terrestrial planet formation with various initial conditions. In order to increase the realism of our simulations and investigate the effect of fragmentation on protoplanetary growth, we have developed a self-consistent planetesimal collision model that includes fragmentation and accretion of debris. In our model we treat all planetes...

The potential for Earth-mass planet formation around brown dwarfs

Recent observations point to the presence of structured dust grains in the discs surrounding young brown dwarfs, thus implying that the first stages of planet formation take place also in the sub-stellar regime. Here, we investigate the potential for planet formation around brown dwarfs and very low mass stars according to the sequential core accretion model of planet formation. We find that, f...

Tracing the ingredients for a habitable earth from interstellar space through planet formation.

We use the C/N ratio as a monitor of the delivery of key ingredients of life to nascent terrestrial worlds. Total elemental C and N contents, and their ratio, are examined for the interstellar medium, comets, chondritic meteorites, and terrestrial planets; we include an updated estimate for the bulk silicate Earth (C/N = 49.0 ± 9.3). Using a kinetic model of disk chemistry, and the sublimation/...
