💫 Protoplanetary Disk: Planetesimal Growth, Snow Line and Gaps

Gas and dust disk around a young Sun-like star: runaway then oligarchic planetesimal growth, collision outcomes by impact speed, the 2.7 AU snow line, gap-opening giants and Type I/II migration with resonance chains.

⚙ Under the hood

A gas and dust disk around a young Sun-like star in which planetesimals grow by runaway then oligarchic accretion, collisions are resolved by impact speed (merger, erosion, hit-and-run), the 2.7 AU snow line boosts solid density, and giants open gaps and migrate in Type I/II with optional resonance chains.
