Planet formation

Planets form in protoplanetary discs from dust grains that collide and stick together (planetesimal hypothesis of Safronov, 1969). From dust to planetesimals µm → m: Contact forces in collisions cause sticking m → km: ??? From planetesimals to protoplanets km → 1,000 km: Gravity From protoplanets to planets Terrestrial planets: Protoplanets collide Gas planets: Solid core attracts gaseous envelope → → → →

Planetesimals

Kilometer-sized objects massive enough to attract each other by gravity (two-body encounters) Building blocks of planets Formation:

µm → cm: Dust grains collide and stick

(Blum & Wurm 2000)

cm → km: Sticking or gravitational instability

(Safronov 1969, Goldreich & Ward 1973, Weidenschilling & Cuzzi 1993)

Particle dynamics

Gas accelerates solid particles through drag force:

∂w ∂t = . . . − 1 τf (w − u) ❅ ❅ ❅ ■

Particle velocity

❅ ❅ ■

Gas velocity In the Epstein drag force regime, when the particle is much smaller than the mean free path of the gas molecules, the friction time is (Weidenschilling 1977) τf = a•ρ• csρg

a•: Particle radius ρ•: Material density cs: Sound speed ρg: Gas density

Important nondimensional parameter in protoplanetary discs: ΩKτf (Stokes number) At r = 5 AU we can approximately write a•/m ∼ 0.3ΩKτf.

Diffusion-sedimentation equilibrium

Diffusion-sedimentation equilibrium: Hdust Hgas =

  • δt

ΩKτf

Hdust = scale height of dust-to-gas ratio Hgas = scale height of gas δt = turbulent diffusion coefficient, like α-value ΩKτf = Stokes number, proportional to radius of solid particles

Diffusion coefficient

Definition of Schmidt number: Sc = νt/Dt = αt/δt From the scale-height of the dust one can calculate the diffusion coefficient: δt = δt(Hdust)

0.001 0.010 0.100 1.000 α 1 10 Sc Scx Scz Scx (Ly=4) Scz (Ly=4)

Johansen & Klahr (2005): Scz ≃ 1.5, Scx ≃ 1

(Turner et al. 2006: Scz ≃ 1; Fromang & Papaloizou 2006: Scz ≃ 3)

Carballido, Stone, & Pringle (2005): Scx ≃ 10 Johansen, Klahr, & Mee (2006): The ratio between diffusion and viscosity depends on the strength of an imposed magnetic field

The role of the Schmidt number

Safronov (1969): Dust grains coagulate and gradually decouple from the gas Sediment to form a thin mid-plane layer in the disc Planetesimals form by continued coagulation or self-gravity (or combination) in dense mid-plane layer HOWEVER: MRI-driven turbulence very efficient at diffusing dust Need to look at how larger particles react to turbulence

Radial drift

Balance between drag force and head wind gives radial drift speed (Weidenschilling 1977) vdrift = − 2 ΩKτf + (ΩKτf)−1 ηvK for Epstein drag law (solids smaller than gas mean free path).

Turbulent overdensities combined with streaming instability create transient, overdense “seeds” where self-gravity is important.

Conclusions

MRI can play a crucial role in the formation of planets Zonal flows are excited by ≈10% radial variation in the Maxwell stress of magnetorotational turbulence MRI and streaming instability can interact constructively Convergence zones concentrate solids and allow the formation

  • f 1000 km sized planet embryos by gravity

MRI good for planet formation even in its absence – Rossby vortices excited at transition from dead to active regions

Open questions

What sets the scale of zonal flows? Do collision speeds of MRI turbulence lead to growth or to destruction of dust agglomorates? Can we even assume MRI to be operative in planet forming regions? Would turbulent simulations of dead zones lead to Rossby wave instability and vortices? How do you grow enough pebbles to launch the streaming instability? How does coagulation and fragmentation proceed in a gravitationally contracting clump? What is the relative importance of streaming, Kelvin-Helmholtz and baroclinic instabilities in the mid-plane layer? ...
