Rapid Formation of Icy Super-Earths and the Cores of Gas Giant Planets
We describe a coagulation model that leads to the rapid formation of superEarths and the cores of gas giant planets. Interaction of collision fragments with the gaseous disk is the crucial element of this model. The gas entrains small collision fragments, which rapidly settle to the disk midplane. Protoplanets accrete the fragments and grow to masses & 1 M⊕ in ∼ 1 Myr. Our model explains the ma...
متن کاملAngular Momentum Accretion onto a Gas Giant Planet
We investigate the accretion of angular momentum onto a protoplanet system using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. We consider a local region around a protoplanet in a protoplanetary disk with sufficient spatial resolution. We describe the structure of the gas flow onto and around the protoplanet in detail. We find that the gas flows onto the protoplanet system in the vertical direc...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Accretion onto Growing Proto-Gas-Giant Planets
The solar and extra solar gas giants appear to have diverse internal structure and metallicities. We examine a potential cause for these dispersions in the context of the conventional sequential accretion formation scenario, which assumes the initial formation of cores from protoplanetary embryos. In principle, gas accretion onto cores with masses below several times that of the Earth is suppre...
متن کاملFormation of Giant Planets by Concurrent Accretion of Solids and Gas inside an Anti-Cyclonic Vortex
We study the formation of a giant gas planet by the core–accretion gas– capture process, with numerical simulations, under the assumption that the planetary core forms in the center of an anti-cyclonic vortex. The presence of the vortex concentrates particles of centimeter to meter size from the surrounding disk, and speeds up the core formation process. Assuming that a planet of Jupiter mass i...
متن کاملFast Accretion of Small Planetesimals by Protoplanetary Cores
The dynamics of small planetesimals in the vicinity of protoplanetary cores immersed in a gaseous nebula is explored. Gas drag strongly affects the motion of small bodies leading to the decay of their eccentricities and inclinations, which are excited by the gravity of protoplanetary cores. Drag acting on larger (& 1 km), high velocity planetesimals causes a mere reduction of their average rand...
