Accretion cross-section diameter
with erosion in relation to
without erosion as dependent on the pebble radius Rpebble
for an Earth-sized planet. The semi-major axis a
varies between 0.1 AU (violet) and 3 AU (red). For planets near to the central star, a significant reduction in accretion efficiency for pebbles with
Rpebble ≲ 10 m can be observed with wind erosion. For a semi-major axis of a ≥ 3 AU there is no difference between the case with erosion and without.
