What is the Mass of a Gap-Opening Planet?

Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung

High contrast imaging instruments such as GPI and SPHERE are discovering gap structures in protoplanetary disks at an ever faster pace. Some of these gaps may be opened by planets…

How Bright are Planet-Induced Spiral Arms in Scattered Light?

Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung

Recently, high angular resolution imaging instruments such as SPHERE and GPI have discovered many spiral-arm-like features in near-infrared scattered light images of protoplanetary…

Planetary Torque in 3D Isentropic Disks

Jeffrey Fung, Frederic Masset, Elena Lega +1

Planet migration is inherently a three-dimensional (3D) problem, because Earth-size planetary cores are deeply embedded in protoplanetary disks. Simulations of these 3D disks remai…

Gap Opening in 3D: Single Planet Gaps

Jeffrey Fung, Eugene Chiang

Giant planets can clear deep gaps when embedded in 2D (razor-thin) viscous circumstellar disks. We show by direct simulation that giant planets are just as capable of carving out g…

How Spirals and Gaps Driven by Companions in Protoplanetary Disks Appear in Scattered Light at Arbitrary Viewing Angles

Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung, Eugene Chiang

Direct imaging observations of protoplanetary disks at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths have revealed structures of potentially planetary origin. Investigations of observational sig…
