Runaway Growth

Runaway Growth is a theoretical model in planetary formation that describes the rapid, self-amplifying accretion of solid material by a protoplanetary embryo due to its gravitational focusing advantage over smaller neighbors, leading to the preferential growth of a few dominant bodies within a swarm of planetesimals.
