The physics and modes of star cluster formation: simulations
Cathie Clarke
We review progress in numerical simulations of star cluster formation. These simulations involve the bottom-up assembly of clusters through hierarchical mergers, which produces a f…
Metallicity, planet formation, and disc lifetimes
Barbara Ercolano, Cathie Clarke
The formation of planets within a disc must operate within the time frame of disc dispersal, it is thus crucial to establish what is the dominant process that disperses the gaseous…
The effects of opacity on gravitational stability in protoplanetary discs
Peter Cossins, Giuseppe Lodato, Cathie Clarke
In this paper we consider the effects of opacity regimes on the stability of self-gravitating protoplanetary discs to fragmentation into bound objects. Using a self-consistent 1-D…
Radiation-Hydrodynamic Models of X-Ray & EUV Photoevaporating Protoplanetary Discs
J. E. Owen, B. Ercolano, C. J. Clarke +1
(Abridged) We present the first radiation-hydrodynamic model of a protoplanetary disc irradiated with an X-EUV spectrum. In a model where the total ionizing luminosity is divided e…
Pseudo-viscous modeling of self-gravitating discs and the formation of low mass ratio binaries
C. Clarke
We present analytic models for the local structure of self-regulated self-gravit ating accretion discs that are subject to realistic cooling. Such an approach can be used to predic…
The transition disc frequency in M stars
Barbara Ercolano, Cathie J. Clarke, Thomas P. Robitaille
We re-examine the recent suggestion of a high fraction of transition discs (i.e. those with a cleared inner hole) in M stars, motivated by the fact that we expect that, for M stars…
