Planetesimal Formation by the Gravitational Instability of Dust Ring Structures
We investigate the gravitational instability (GI) of dust ring structures and the formation of planetesimals by their gravitational collapse. The normalized dispersion relation of a self-gravitating ring structure includes two parameters that are related to its width and line mass (the mass per unit...
