Jupiter as a Rotating Bipolytrope
Kundan Kadam
Polytropes have long been used to model a wide variety of astrophysical objects. A bipolytrope (composite polytrope) may be used for bodies with a distinct core-envelope structure.…
Self-Sustaining Vortices in Protoplanetary Disks: Setting the Stage for Planetary System Formation
Zsolt Regaly, Kundan Kadam, Cornelis P. Dullemond
The core accretion scenario of planet formation assumes that planetesimals and planetary embryos are formed during the primordial, gaseous phases of the protoplanetary disk. Howeve…
Eruptive Behavior of Magnetically Layered Protoplanetary Disks in Low Metallicity Environments
Kundan Kadam, Eduard Vorobyov, Ágnes Kóspál
A protoplanetary disk typically forms a dead zone near its midplane at the distance of a few au from the central protostar. Accretion through such a magnetically layered disk can b…
Global Protoplanetary Disk Simulations: Dead Zone Formation and FUor Outbursts
Kundan Kadam, Eduard Vorobyov, Zsolt Regály +2
We conducted global hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disk evolution with an adaptive Shakura-Sunyaev α prescription to represent the layered disk structure, and starting…
