In streaming-instability simulations, gas-dust relative flow becomes azimuthal wherever dust-to-gas ratio exceeds one, so birdie-aligned prolate grains naturally emit the azimuthal polarization seen in disks like HL Tau.

One migrating planet produces multiple observable dust rings and gaps lasting ≥400 kyr; cooling controls jump number but not structure lifetime.
2D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations find accretion outbursts unstable to Rossby-wave instability, forming vortices that suppress planetesimal formation until post-burst quiescence.
Modeling of ALMA observations reveals diverse vertical heights for millimeter dust in six protoplanetary disks, from very thin in T Cha and PDS 111 to extended in DoAr 25, with models failing to match small dust distributions.
An optimal Stokes number window of 0.01-0.03 allows streaming instability to form planetesimals and pebble accretion to build all three main planet classes, with cold gas giants needing the lowest turbulence and largest discs.
SKAO will enable the first large-scale high-resolution surveys of cm-wavelength disk emission to constrain dust growth, pebble demographics, and planet formation processes.

Azimuthal Dust Polarization from Aerodynamically Aligned Grains as Evidence for the Streaming Instability in Protoplanetary Disks
In streaming-instability simulations, gas-dust relative flow becomes azimuthal wherever dust-to-gas ratio exceeds one, so birdie-aligned prolate grains naturally emit the azimuthal polarization seen in disks like HL Tau.
