How planets form is one of the long-standing questions in
astrophysics. In particular, formation scenarios of planetesimals
which are kilometer-sized bodies and a precursor of planets are
still unclear and under debate although some promising mechanisms
have been proposed. This book highlight disk instabilities that
have the potential to explain the origin of planetesimals. Using
linear analyses and numerical simulations, it addresses how a disk
evolves through the development of instabilities, and also presents
a new instability driven by dust coagulation. As a result, the
simulation demonstrates a scenario of planetesimal formation: A
successive development of multiple instabilities triggers
planetesimal formation in resulting dusty rings.
