Quantification of stochastic fragmentation of self-gravitating discs
Matthew D. Young, Cathie J. Clarke
Using 2D smoothed particle hydrodynamics, we investigate the distribution of wait times between strong shocks in a turbulent, self-gravitating accretion disc. We show the resulting…

Binary accretion rates: dependence on temperature and mass-ratio
Matthew D. Young, Cathie J. Clarke
We perform a series of 2D smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of gas accretion onto binaries via a circumbinary disc, for a range of gas temperatures and binary mass…

Dependence of fragmentation in self-gravitating accretion discs on small scale structure
Matthew D. Young, Cathie J. Clarke
We propose a framework for understanding the fragmentation criterion for self-gravitating discs which, in contrast to studies that emphasise the `gravoturbulent' nature of such dis…
