The 3D Dust and Opacity Distribution of Protoplanets in Multifluid Global Simulations

The abundance and distribution of solids inside the Hill sphere are central to our understanding of the giant planet dichotomy. Here, we present a 3D characterization of the dust density, mass flux, and mean opacities in the envelope of subthermal and superthermal-mass planets. We simulate the dynam...
