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.
