a) Including the effects of planetesimal formation via zonal flows80, see Eq. (8). b) Neglecting the effects of planetesimal formation via zonal flows21,65. Final distribution of planetesimals in a simulation with three pressure bumps. Top and middle panels show the evolution of the gas and pebble surface densities, respectively. The initial dust-to-gas ratio is Z0 = 1.3%, ϵ = 1 × 10−4, αt = αν/27. The final rings contain 2.5 M (inner), 85 M (central), and 18 M (outer) in planetesimals. In both simulations rc = 25 au.
