Giant planet formation traps dust in pressure bumps and planetesimal formation converts dust to larger bodies, making evolved disk masses appear low as a natural outcome of these processes, with models matching observations best for initial disk masses of 4-7% solar mass.

Exploring the conditions for forming planetesimals by the streaming instability and planetary systems by pebble accretion
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.

A giant solution to the disk mass budget problem of planet formation
Giant planet formation traps dust in pressure bumps and planetesimal formation converts dust to larger bodies, making evolved disk masses appear low as a natural outcome of these processes, with models matching observations best for initial disk masses of 4-7% solar mass.
