Context. Abridged. Many stars are members of binary systems. During early phases when the stars are surrounded by discs, the binary orbit and disc midplane may be mutually inclined. The discs around T Tauri stars will become mildly warped and undergo solid body precession around the angular momentum vector of the binary system. It is unclear how planetesimals in such a disc will evolve and affect planet formation. Aims. We investigate the dynamics of planetesimals embedded in discs that are perturbed by a binary companion on a circular, inclined orbit. We examine collisional velocities of the planetesimals to determine when they can grow through accretion. We vary the binary inclination, binary separation, D, disc mass, and planetesimal radius. Our standard model has D=60 AU, inclination=45 deg, and a disc mass equivalent to the MMSN. Methods. We use a 3D hydrodynamics code to model the disc. Planetesimals are test particles which experience gas drag, the gravitational force of the disc, the companion star gravity. Planetesimal orbit crossing events are detected and used to estimate collisional velocities. Results. For binary systems with modest inclination (25 deg), disc gravity prevents planetesimal orbits from undergoing strong differential nodal precession (which occurs in absence of the disc), and forces planetesimals to precess with the disc on average. For bodies of different size the orbit planes become modestly mutually inclined, leading to collisional velocities that inhibit growth. For larger inclinations (45 degrees), the Kozai effect operates, leading to destructively large relative velocities. Conclusions. Planet formation via planetesimal accretion is difficult in an inclined binary system with parameters similar to those considered in this paper. For systems in which the Kozai mechanism operates, the prospects for forming planets are very remote.

Pebble accretion is a new mechanism to quickly grow the cores of planets. In pebble accretion, gravity and gas drag conspire to yield large collisional cross sections for small particles in protoplanetary disks. However, before pebble accretion comme
nces, aerodynamical deflection may act to prevent planetesimals from becoming large, because particles tend to follow gas streamlines. We derive the planetesimal radius where pebble accretion is initiated and determine the growth timescales of planetesimals by sweepup of small particles. We obtain the collision efficiency factor as the ratio of the numerically-obtained collisional cross section to the planetesimal surface area, from which we obtain the growth timescales. Integrations are conducted in the potential flow limit (steady, inviscid) and in the Stokes flow regime (steady, viscid). Only particles of stopping time $t_s ll t_X$ where $t_Xapprox10^3$ s experience aerodynamic deflection. Even in that case, the planetesimals gravity always ensures positive collision factors. The maximum growth timescale occurs typically at around $Rapprox100 mathrm{km}$, but is less for colder disks, corresponding to interactions shifting to the Safronov focusing regime. For particles $t_s gg t_X$ pebble accretion commences only after this phase and is characterized by a steep drop in growth timescales. Consequently, at distances beyond ~10 AU sweepup growth timescales are always longer than $10$ Myr, while in the inner disk (~<3 AU) the viability of the sweepup scenario is determined by the outcome of pebble-planetesimal collisions in the geometric regime. We present analytical fits for the collision efficiency factors and the minimum planetesimal size needed for pebble accretion. (Abridged)
As a test bed for the growth of protoplanetary bodies in a turbulent circumstellar disk we examine the fate of a boulder using direct numerical simulations of particle seeded gas flowing around it. We provide an accurate description of the flow by im
posing no-slip and non-penetrating boundary conditions on the boulder surface using the immersed boundary method pioneered by Peskin (2002). Advected by the turbulent disk flow, the dust grains collide with the boulder and we compute the probability density function (PDF) of the normal component of the collisional velocity. Through this examination of the statistics of collisional velocities we test the recently developed concept of collisional fusion which provides a physical basis for a range of collisional velocities exhibiting perfect sticking. A boulder can then grow sufficiently rapidly to settle into a Keplerian orbit on disk evolution time scales.
We use a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code to examine the effects of misaligned binary companions on Be star discs. We systematically vary the degree of misalignment between the disc and the binary orbit, as well as the disc viscosity and or
bital period to study their effects on the density in the inner and outer parts of the disc. We find that varying the degree of misalignment, the viscosity, and the orbital period affects both the truncation radius and the density structure of the outer disc, while the inner disc remains mostly unaffected. We also investigate the tilting of the disc in the innermost part of the disc and find the tilt increases with radius until reaching a maximum around 5 stellar radii. The direction of the line of nodes, with respect to the equator of the central star, is found to be offset compared to the orbital line of nodes, and to vary periodically in time, with a period of half a orbital phase. We also compare the scale height of our discs with the analytical scale height of an isothermal disc, which increases with radius as $r^{1.5}$. We find that this formula reproduces the scale height well for both aligned and misaligned systems but underestimates the scale height in regions of the disc where density enhancements develop.
The ungrouped iron meteorite Nedagolla is the first meteorite with bulk Mo, Ru, and Ni isotopic compositions that are intermediate between those of the non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorite reservoirs. The Hf-W chronology of Nedagolla
indicates that this mixed NC-CC isotopic composition was established relatively late, more than 7 million years after Solar System formation. The mixed NC-CC isotopic composition is consistent with the chemical composition of Nedagolla, which combines signatures of metal segregation under more oxidizing conditions (relative depletions in Mo and W), characteristic for CC bodies, and more reducing conditions (high Si and Cr contents), characteristic for some NC bodies, in a single sample. These data combined suggest that Nedagolla formed as the result of collisional mixing of NC and CC core material, which partially re-equilibrated with silicate mantle material that predominantly derives from the NC body. These mixing processes might have occurred during a hit-and-run collision between two differentiated bodies, which also provides a possible pathway for Nedagollas extreme volatile element depletion. As such, Nedagolla provides the first isotopic evidence for early collisional mixing of NC and CC bodies that is expected as a result of Jupiters growth.
More than half of stars reside in binary or multiple star systems and many planets have been found in binary systems. From theoretical point of view, however, whether or not the planetary formation proceeds in a binary system is a very complex proble
m, because secular perturbation from the companion star can easily stir up the eccentricity of the planetesimals and cause high-velocity, destructive collisions between planetesimals. Early stage of planetary formation process in binary systems has been studied by restricted three-body approach with gas drag and it is commonly accepted that accretion of planetesimals can proceed due to orbital phasing by gas drag. However, the gas drag becomes less effective as the planetesimals become massive. Therefore it is still uncertain whether the collision velocity remains small and planetary accretion can proceed, once the planetesimals become massive. We performed {it N}-body simulations of planetary formation in binary systems starting from massive planetesimals whose size is about 100-500 km. We found that the eccentricity vectors of planetesimals quickly converge to the forced eccentricity due to the coupling of the perturbation of the companion and the mutual interaction of planetesimals if the initial disk model is sufficiently wide in radial distribution. This convergence decreases the collision velocity and as a result accretion can proceed much in the same way as in isolated systems. The basic processes of the planetary formation, such as runaway growth and oligarchic growth and final configuration of the protoplanets are essentially the same in binary systems and single star systems, at least in the late stage where the effect of gas drag is small.
