Recent studies of extrasolar planets suggest high metallicities of planetary atmospheres compared to the atmospheres of their host stars. Previous research adopted either pebble- or planetesimal accretion for the growth of these planets to gain insights into this question. We investigate whether the combination of pebble- and planetesimal accretion will ...
