Unveiling the Distribution of Pebbles in Compact Disks

This conference talk presents research on the distribution of pebbles in compact disks by Carlos Carrasco Gonzalez from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Recorded during the "Planets on the Edge" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at UC Santa Barbara in May 2025, explore findings related to protoplanetary disk formation and evolution. The presentation contributes to broader conference themes examining Earth-sized planets in inner protoplanetary disks, addressing questions about the nature of close-in rocky planets, their formation processes, governing parameters across star systems, and why similar planets don't exist in our solar system. The conference brings together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics to synthesize current knowledge and advance understanding through observations, theory, and computational modeling.
