Stellar irradiated discs and implications on migration of embedded planets I: equilibrium discs

Bertram Bitsch, Aurélien Crida, Alessandro Morbidelli +2

The strength and direction of migration of low mass planets depends on the disc's thermodynamics. In discs where the viscous heating is balanced by radiative transport, the migrati…
