Tidal Evolution of Eccentric Binaries Driven by Convective Turbulent Viscosity
Michelle Vick, Dong Lai
Tidal dissipation due to convective turbulent viscosity shapes the evolution of a variety of astrophysical binaries. For example, this type of dissipation determines the rate of or…
Pulsed Disc Accretion Driven by Hot Jupiters
Jean Teyssandier, Dong Lai
We present 2D hydrodynamical simulations of hot Jupiters orbiting near the inner edge of protoplanetary discs. We systemically explore how the accretion rate at the inner disc edge…
Circumbinary Accretion from Finite and Infinite Disks
Diego Muñoz, Dong Lai, Kaitlin Kratter +1
We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamics simulations of circumbinary disk (CBD) accretion using {\footnotesize AREPO}. We resolve the accretion flow from a large-scale CBD down to the…
A Simplified Model for the Secular Dynamics of Eccentric Discs and Applications to Planet-Disc Interactions
Jean Teyssandier, Dong Lai
We develop a simplified model for studying the long-term evolution of giant planets in protoplanetary discs. The model accounts for the eccentricity evolution of the planets and th…
In-Situ Scattering of Warm Jupiters and Implications for Dynamical Histories
Kassandra R. Anderson, Dong Lai, Bonan Pu
Many warm Jupiters (WJs) have substantial eccentricities, which are linked to their formation and migration histories. This paper explores eccentricity excitation of WJs due to pla…
Fast radio burst counterparts and their implications for the central engine
Jie-Shuang Wang, Dong Lai
While the radiation mechanism of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is unknown, coherent curvature radiation and synchrotron maser are promising candidates. We find that both radiation mecha…
