New paper: “Rapid Formation of Massive Planetary Cores in a Pressure Bump”

[tommylauch]

In this work with Sebastian Stammler, Joanna Drążkowska, Tilman Birnstiel and Cornelis Dullemond, we modelled planetesimal formation in a pressure bump where the planetesimals evolve as N-body particles with the additional effects of pebble accretion, gas drag and the Type-I torques. This is achieved by coupling DustPy with the parallelized symplectic N-body integrator SyMBAp (https://github.com/tommylauch/SWIFT_SyMBAp_pub)
