Convergence of SPH simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs: Sensitivity to the implementation of radiative cooling

W. K. M. Rice, D. H. Forgan, P. J. Armitage

Recent simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs, carried out using a three-dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code by Meru and Bate, have been interpreted as…

Toward Direct Detection of Hot Jupiters with Precision Closure Phase: Calibration Studies and First Results from the CHARA Array

M. Zhao, J. D. Monnier, X. Che +12

Direct detection of thermal emission from nearby hot Jupiters has greatly advanced our knowledge of extrasolar planets in recent years. Since hot Jupiter systems can be regarded as…

The Jeans Mass as a Fundamental Measure of Self-Gravitating Disc Fragmentation and Initial Fragment Mass

Duncan Forgan, Ken Rice

As a formation route for objects such as giant planets and low-mass stars in protostellar discs (as well as stars in AGN discs), theories of self-gravitating disc fragmentation nee…

The mass function of IC4665 revisited by the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey

N. Lodieu, W. -J. de Wit, G. Carraro +3

Knowledge of the mass function in open clusters constitutes one way to constrain the formation of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs as does the knowledge of the frequency of multiple…

Spatio-temporal Constraints on the Zoo Hypothesis, and the Breakdown of Total Hegemony

Duncan H Forgan

The Zoo Hypothesis posits that we have not detected extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs) because they deliberately prevent us from detecting them. While a valid solution to Fermi'…

Extrasolar Asteroid Mining as Forensic Evidence for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Duncan Forgan, Martin Elvis

The development of civilisations like ours into spacefaring, multi-planet entities requires significant raw materials to construct vehicles and habitats. Interplanetary debris, inc…
