Assembly of Protoplanetary Disks and Inclinations of Circumbinary Planets
Francois Foucart, Dong Lai
The Kepler satellite has discovered a number of transiting planets around close binary stars. These circumbinary systems have highly aligned planetary and binary orbits. In this pa…
Effects of upper disc boundary conditions on the linear Rossby wave instability
Min-Kai Lin
The linear Rossby wave instability (RWI) in global, 3D polytropic discs is revisited with a much simpler numerical method than that previously employed by the author. The governing…
A Possible Divot in the Size Distribution of the Kuiper Belt's Scattering Objects
C. Shankman, B. Gladman, N. Kaib +2
Via joint analysis of a calibrated telescopic survey, which found scattering Kuiper Belt objects, and models of their expected orbital distribution, we measure the form of the scat…
Non-barotropic linear Rossby wave instability in three-dimensional disks
Min-Kai Lin
Astrophysical disks with localized radial structure, such as protoplanetary disks containing dead zones or gaps due to disk-planet interaction, may be subject to the non-axisymmetr…
Planetary evaporation by UV & X-ray radiation: basic hydrodynamics
James E. Owen, Alan P. Jackson
We consider the evaporation of close in planets by the star's intrinsic EUV and X-ray radiation. We calculate evaporation rates by solving the hydrodynamical problem for planetary…
Two populations of transition discs?
James Owen, Cathie Clarke
We examine the distribution of transition discs as a function of mm flux. We confirm that as expected in any model in which most primordial discs turn into transition discs and in…
