Context. The water snowline divides dry and icy solid material in protoplanetary disks, and has been thought to significantly affect planet formation at all stages. If dry particles break up more easily than icy ones, then the snowline causes a traffic jam, because small grains drift inward at lower speeds than larger pebbles. Aims. We aim to evaluate the effect of high dust concentrations around the snowline onto the gas dynamics. Methods. Using numerical simulations, we model the global radial evolution of an axisymmetric protoplanetary disk. Our model includes particle growth, evaporation and recondensation of water, and the back-reaction of dust onto the gas, taking into account the vertical distribution of dust particles. Results. We find that the dust back-reaction can stop and even reverse the net flux of gas outside the snowline, decreasing the gas accretion rate onto the star to under $50%$ of its initial value. At the same time the dust accumulates at the snowline, reaching dust-to-gas ratios of $epsilon gtrsim 0.8$, and delivers large amounts of water vapor towards the inner disk, as the icy particles cross the snowline. However, the accumulation of dust at the snowline and the decrease in the gas accretion rate only take place if the global dust-to-gas ratio is high ($varepsilon_0 gtrsim 0.03$), if the viscous turbulence is low ($alpha_ u lesssim 10^{-3} $), if the disk is large enough ($r_c gtrsim 100, textrm{au}$), and only during the early phases of the disk evolution ($t lesssim 1, textrm{Myr}$). Otherwise the dust back-reaction fails to perturb the gas motion.

Content: For up to a few millions of years, pebbles must provide a quasi-steady inflow of solids from the outer parts of protoplanetary disks to their inner regions. Aims: We wish to understand how a significant fraction of the pebbles grows into pla
netesimals instead of being lost to the host star. Methods:We examined analytically how the inward flow of pebbles is affected by the snow line and under which conditions dust-rich (rocky) planetesimals form. When calculating the inward drift of solids that is due to gas drag, we included the back-reaction of the gas to the motion of the solids. Results: We show that in low-viscosity protoplanetary disks (with a monotonous surface density similar to that of the minimum-mass solar nebula), the flow of pebbles does not usually reach the required surface density to form planetesimals by streaming instability. We show, however, that if the pebble-to-gas-mass flux exceeds a critical value, no steady solution can be found for the solid-to-gas ratio. This is particularly important for low-viscosity disks (alpha < 10^(-3)) where we show that inside of the snow line, silicate-dust grains ejected from sublimating pebbles can accumulate, eventually leading to the formation of dust-rich planetesimals directly by gravitational instability. Conclusions: This formation of dust-rich planetesimals may occur for extended periods of time, while the snow line sweeps from several au to inside of 1 au. The rock-to-ice ratio may thus be globally significantly higher in planetesimals and planets than in the central star.
We develop a simple model to predict the radial distribution of planetesimal formation. The model is based on the observed growth of dust to mm-sized particles, which drift radially, pile-up, and form planetesimals where the stopping time and dust-to
-gas ratio intersect the allowed region for streaming instability-induced gravitational collapse. Using an approximate analytic treatment, we first show that drifting particles define a track in metallicity--stopping time space whose only substantial dependence is on the disks angular momentum transport efficiency. Prompt planetesimal formation is feasible for high particle accretion rates (relative to the gas, $dot{M}_p / dot{M} > 3 times 10^{-2}$ for $alpha = 10^{-2}$), that could only be sustained for a limited period of time. If it is possible, it would lead to the deposition of a broad and massive belt of planetesimals with a sharp outer edge. Including turbulent diffusion and vapor condensation processes numerically, we find that a modest enhancement of solids near the snow line occurs for cm-sized particles, but that this is largely immaterial for planetesimal formation. We note that radial drift couples planetesimal formation across radii in the disk, and suggest that considerations of planetesimal formation favor a model in which the initial deposition of material for giant planet cores occurs well beyond the snow line.
We investigate dust growth due to settling in a 1D vertical column of a protoplanetary disk. It is known from the observed 10 micron feature in disk SEDs, that small micron-sized grains are present at the disk atmosphere throughout the lifetime of th
e disk. We hope to explain such questions as what process can keep the disk atmospheres dusty for the lifetime of the disk and how does the particle properties change as a function of height above the midplane. We use a Monte Carlo code to follow the mass and porosity evolution of the particles in time. The used collision model is based on laboratory experiments performed on dust aggregates. As the experiments cannot cover all possible collision scenarios, the largest uncertainty of our model is the necessary extrapolations we had to perform. We simultaneously solve for the particle growth and motion. Particles can move vertically due to settling and turbulent mixing. We assume that the vertical profile of the gas density is fixed in time and only the solid component evolves. We find that the used collision model strongly influences the masses and sizes of the particles. The laboratory experiment based collision model greatly reduces the particle sizes compared to models that assume sticking at all collision velocities. We find that a turbulence parameter of alpha = 10^-2 is needed to keep the dust atmospheres dusty, but such strong turbulence can produce only small particles at the midplane which is not favorable for planetesimal formation models. We also see that the particles are larger at the midplane and smaller at the upper layers of the disk. At 3-4 pressure scale heights micron-sized particles are produced. These particle sizes are needed to explain the 10 micron feature of disk SEDs. Turbulence may therefore help to keep small dust particles in the disk atmosphere.
Context: The formation of rocky planetesimals is a long-standing problem in planet formation theory. One of the possibilities is that it results from gravitational instability as a result of pile-up of small silicate dust particles released from subl
imating icy pebbles that pass the snow line. Aims: We want to understand and quantify the role of the water snow line for the formation of rock-rich and ice-rich planetesimals. In this paper, we focus on the formation of rock-rich planetesimals. A companion paper examines the combined formation of both rock-rich and ice-rich planetesimals. Methods: We develop a new Monte Carlo code to calculate the radial evolution of silicate particles in a turbulent accretion disk, accounting for the back-reaction (i.e., inertia) of the particles on their radial drift velocity and diffusion. Results depend in particular on the particle injection width (determined from the radial sublimation width of icy pebbles), the pebble scale height and the pebble mass flux through the disk. The scale height evolution of the silicate particles, which is the most important factor for the runaway pile-up, is automatically calculated in this Lagrange method. Results: From the numerical results, we derive semi-analytical relations for the scale height of the silicate dust particles and the particles-to-gas density ratio at the midplane, as functions of a pebble-to-gas mass flux ratio and the $alpha$ parameters for disk gas accretion and vertical/radial diffusion. We find that the runaway pile-up of the silicate particles (formation of rocky planetesimals) occurs if the pebble-to-gas mass flux ratio is $> [(alpha_{Dz}/alpha_{acc})/3 times 10^{-2}]^{1/2}$ where $alpha_{Dz}$ and $alpha_{acc}$ are the $alpha$ parameters for vertical turbulent diffusion and disk gas accretion.
After protoplanets have acquired sufficient mass to open partial gaps in their natal protostellar disks, residual gas continues to diffuse onto horseshoe streamlines under effect of viscous dissipation, and meander in and out of the planets Hill sphe
re. Within the Hill sphere, the horseshoe streamlines intercept gas flow in circumplanetary disks. The host stars tidal perturbation induces a barrier across the converging streamlines interface. Viscous transfer of angular momentum across this tidal barrier determines the rate of mass diffusion from the horseshoe streamlines onto the circumplanetary disks, and eventually the accretion rate onto the protoplanets. We carry out a series of numerical simulations to test the influence of this tidal barrier on super thermal planets. In weakly viscous disks, protoplanets accretion rate steeply decreases with their masses above the thermal limit. As their growth timescale exceeds the gas depletion time scale, their masses reach asymptotic values comparable to that of Jupiter. In relatively thick and strongly viscous disks, protoplanets asymptotic masses exceed several times that of Jupiter. Two dimensional numerical simulations show that such massive protoplanets strongly excite the eccentricity of nearby horseshoe streamlines, destabilize orderly flow, substantially enhance the diffusion rate across the tidal barrier, and elevate their growth rate until their natal disk is severely depleted. In contrast, eccentric streamlines remain stable in three dimensional simulations. Based on the upper falloff in the observe mass distribution of known exoplanets, we suggest their natal disks had relatively low viscosity alpha sim 0.001, modest thickness H/R sim 0.03 to 0.05, and limited masses comparable to that of minimum mass solar nebula model.
