Scientific paper

Gravitational instabilities and formation of planetesimals in the sedimentating dust component of the protoplanetary disk are studied, taking into account the interaction between dust grains and gas. The timescales, and the influence on the various processes of the mass of the grains and of their dynamical evolution inside the disk, are discussed. The physical characteristics of the planetesimals in different regions of the disk are also obtained.
