This award will support a theoretical investigation of an early phase in the formation of planets, namely how millimeter-sized grains grow into objects that are about 1 kilometer in diameter. There are three main goals to this effort: (1) calculating the effects of instabilities on dust layers in protoplanetary disks; (2) exploring the formation and evolution of three-dimensional vortices in stratified protoplanetary disks; and (3) modeling the trapping of dust grains in three-dimensional vortices and the formation of planetesimals. These studies will be done using numerical codes developed by this team.This group will establish a joint research team at both institutions that will involve people at all stages from undergraduate studies through senior researchers. The researchers will also engage in curriculum development in partnership with the San Francisco Teachers Institute and with the Yale National Initiative.

该奖项将支持对行星形成的早期阶段的理论研究，即毫米大小的谷物如何生长成直径约1公里的物体。 这项工作有三个主要目标：（1）计算不稳定性对原球磁盘中粉尘层的影响； （2）探索在分层的原星磁盘中三维涡流的形成和演变； （3）建模在三维涡旋中粉尘颗粒的捕获和行星的形成。 这些研究将使用该团队制定的数值代码进行。该小组将在两个机构建立一个联合研究团队，该研究团队将通过高级研究人员在本科研究的各个阶段涉及人们。 研究人员还将与旧金山教师研究所和耶鲁国家倡议合作从事课程开发。
