Planet Migration in Protoplanetary Disks with Rims

Zhuoya Cao, Ya-Ping Li, Douglas N. C. Lin +1

Complex structures, including sharp edges, rings and gaps, have been commonly observed in protoplanetary disks with or without planetary candidates. Here we consider the possibilit…

Multi-wavelength Constraints on Dust Dynamics and Size Evolution in Protoplanetary Disk Rings. I. Method

Linhan Yang, Ya-Ping Li, Ruobing Dong +3

Observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) have revealed many dust rings in protoplanetary disks, often interp…

Concurrent Accretion and Migration of Giant Planets in their Natal Disks with Consistent Accretion Torque

Ya-Ping Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin

Migration commonly occurs during the epoch of planet formation. For emerging gas giant planets, it proceeds concurrently with their growth through the accretion of gas from their n…

Wide Dust Gaps in Protoplanetary Disks Induced by Eccentric Planets: A Mass-Eccentricity Degeneracy

Yi-Xian Chen, Zhuoxiao Wang, Ya-Ping Li +2

The tidal perturbation of embedded protoplanets on their natal disks has been widely attributed to be the cause of gap-ring structures in sub-mm images of protoplanetary disks arou…

Accretion of Gas Giants Constrained by the Tidal Barrier

Ya-Ping Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin +1

After protoplanets have acquired sufficient mass to open partial gaps in their natal protostellar disks, residual gas continues to diffuse onto horseshoe streamlines under effect o…

Retention of Long-Period Gas Giant Planets: Type II Migration Revisited

Yi-Xian Chen, Xiaojia Zhang, Ya-Ping Li +2

During their formation, emerging protoplanets tidally interact with their natal disks. Proto-gas-giant planets, with Hills radius larger than the disk thickness, open gaps and quen…
