Trans-Neptunian Binaries as Evidence for Planetesimal Formation by the Streaming Instability
Streaming instability simulations predict a broad binary inclination distribution with 80% prograde orbits that matches Kuiper belt observations, supporting gravitational collapse of pebble clumps as the planetesimal formation process.
