Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The astronomical observations show that there are disks of gas and solid particles around forming stars. The primitive meteorites made mainly of chondrules that are mm-sized spherical rocks. The most promising process for the formation of planetesimals is the streaming instability, which boost the concentration of solid particles when the drag force between the gas and solid particles act in a disk. This work elucidates that the condition for the particles concentration is expressed by two parameters, which enabled us to apply the condition for various protoplanetary disks.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
原始惑星系円盤内で固体微粒子がストリーミング不安定性により濃集する条件を2つのパラメータで表現できたことは、太陽系だけでなく宇宙で普遍的に起こっている星形成過程における惑星形成についての研究を進めるために役立つ。ガスと固体微粒子からなる系は惑星形成に限らず存在するので、他の分野での固体微粒子の濃集プロセスへの応用も可能であると期待される。
