Vorticies from low-mass planet formation in "transition discs”

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr William Béthune .

I will describe how so-called “transition discs” are natural sites for the trapping of pebble-sized dust particles. Consequently these pebble traps are natural sites for pebble accretion. I will argue that rapid pebble accretion can lead to the disc becoming locally baroclinic and prone to the formation of anti-cyclonic vorticies. I will then sketch out an evolutionary cycle of vortex formation and destruction and relate this mechanism to the observed asymmetries in “transition discs”.
