| Research Abstract |
We investigated the growth process from dust grains to planetesimals and their radial migration, taking into account the evolution of their internal density. Because of their radial migration, solid bodies are concentrated inside of 10AU and grow to km-sized planetesimals. In this planetesimal-forming region, the surface density of the solid component is enhanced by a factor of ～10, compared with the original value. The growing solid bodies have a highly porous structure, which helps their growth to planetesimals. The large enhancement in the solid surface density accelerates growth of cores of Jovian planets.
