Dust-void Evolution Driven by Turbulent Dust Flux can Induce Runaway Migration of Earth-mass Planets
Torques from asymmetric dust structures (so-called dust-void and filamentary structures) formed around low-mass planets embedded in a non turbulent dust-gas disk can exceed the torques produced by the gas disk […]

Low-mass Planets Falling Into Gaps With Cyclonic Vortices
We investigate the planetary migration of low-mass planets (Mp∈[1,15]M⊕, here M⊕ is the Earth mass) in a gaseous disc containing a previously formed gap. We perform high-resolution 3D simulations with […]
