Planetesimal Growth in Evolving Protoplanetary Disks: Constraints from the Pebble Supply
In the core accretion model, planetesimals grow by mutual collisions and engulfing millimeter-to-centimeter particles, i.e., pebbles. Pebble accretion can significantly increase the accretion efficiency and help explain the presence of planets on wide orbits. However, the pebble supply is typically...
