Planetesimal Initial Mass Functions Following Diffusion-regulated Gravitational Collapse

Planetesimal Initial Mass Functions Following Diffusion-regulated Gravitational Collapse

The initial mass function (IMF) of planetesimals is of key importance for understanding the initial stages of planet formation, yet theoretical predictions so far have been insufficient in explaining the variety of IMFs found in simulations. Here, we connect diffusion-tidal-shear limited planetesima...
