The formation of the planetary sequence in a rotating, self-gravitating disk of randomly colliding planetesimals

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The kinetic theory is used to study the evolution of the self-gravitation disk of randomly colliding planetesimals. It is shown that as a result of an almost aperiodic Jeans-type instability of small-amplitude gravity disturbances the disk is subdivided into numerous dense fragments. These can eventually condense into the planetary sequance with mathematical reg
