Survival of planet-induced vortices in 2D disks
Thomas Rometsch, Alexandros Ziampras, Wilhelm Kley +1
Context: Several observations of protoplanetary disks display non-axisymmetric features, often interpreted as vortices. Numerical modeling has repeatedly shown that gap-opening pla…
Disks in close binary stars: γ-Cephei revisited
Lucas M. Jordan, Wilhelm Kley, Giovanni Picogna +1
Close binaries ( au) are known to harbor planets, yet planet formation is unlikely to succeed in such systems. Studying the dynamics of disks in close binaries can he…
Spiral structures in gravito-turbulent gaseous disks
W. Béthune, H. Latter, W. Kley
Gravitational instabilities can drive small-scale turbulence and large-scale spiral arms in massive gaseous disks under conditions of slow radiative cooling. These motions affect t…
Steady State by Recycling prevents Premature Collapse of Protoplanetary Atmospheres
T. W. Moldenhauer, R. Kuiper, W. Kley +1
In recent years, space missions such as Kepler and TESS have discovered many close-in planets with significant atmospheres consisting of hydrogen and helium: mini-Neptunes. This in…
Giant planet migration during the disc dispersal phase
Kristina Monsch, Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano +1
Transition discs are expected to be a natural outcome of the interplay between photoevaporation (PE) and giant planet formation. Massive planets reduce the inflow of material from…
