1. Lecture Planet Formation Topic: Overview of the standard model of planet formation Lecture by: C.P. Dullemond

2. Standard Model 1.A star is formed, surrounded by a disk of dust and gas 2.The dust particles coagulate forming ever larger dust aggregates, rocks, boulders 3....some miracle happens... and sizes of >km are reached (as we will see later, this is a strange thing) 4.These planetesimals gravitationally interact leading to runaway growth. A planetary embryo is formed (~ 1000 km) 5.The embryo accretes further planetesimals and grows 6.Nearby embryos collide and merge to form a rocky planet 7.IF the planet continues to grow to ~ 10 Mearth, then it will attract gas from the disk and form a gas giant planet.

10. Immanuel Kant already understood it! Der Anfang der sich bildenden Planeten ist nicht allein in der Newtonschen Anziehung zu suchen. Diese würde bei einem Partikelchen von so ausnehmender Feinigkeit gar zu langsam und schwach sein. Man würde vielmehr sagen, dass in diesem Raume die erste Bildung durch den Zusammenlauf einiger Elemente, die sich durch die gewöhnlichen Gesetze des Zusammenhangs vereinigen, geschehe, bis derjenige Klumpen, der daraus entstanden, nach und nach so weit angewachsen, dass die Newtonsche Anziehungskraft an ihm vermögend geworden, ihn durch seine Wirkung in die Ferne immer mehr zu vergrößern.

11. Immanuel Kant already understood it! The start of the formation of a planet is not to be sought only in the Newtonian attractive forces. They would, for such small particles, be too slow and too weak. One would more say that the first phases of growth take place through the collision of elements that aggregate through the usual laws of cohesion, until these clumps eventuell have grown so much, that the Newtonian attractive forces, with their long range of influence, spur their growth ever further.

12. So, what is this cosmic dust? Difficult to know because we have no method (yet) of collecting interstellar dust But there is interplanetary dust from evaporating comets. These Interplanetary Dust Particles are dust aggregates Collected from the stratosphere with a U2 airplane

13. Particles move......because protoplanetary disks are turbulent, and turbulent gas stirs up the dust....and because of drift (more on that during the lecture).
