One Dimensional Dynamical Models of the Carina Nebula Bubble
E. Harper-Clark, N. Murray
We have tested the two main theoretical models of bubbles around massive star clusters, Castor et al. and Chevalier & Clegg, against observations of the well studied Carina Nebula.…
RAPID: A fast, high resolution, flux-conservative algorithm designed for planet-disk interactions
L. R. Mudryk, N. W. Murray
We describe a newly developed hydrodynamic code for studying accretion disk processes. The numerical method uses a finite volume, nonlinear, Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) schem…
Atmospheric Escape from Hot Jupiters
Ruth Murray-Clay, Eugene Chiang, Norman Murray
Photoionization heating from UV radiation incident on the atmospheres of hot Jupiters may drive planetary mass loss. We construct a model of escape that includes realistic heating…
The Sizes and Luminosities of Massive Star Clusters
N. W. Murray
The masses of star clusters range over seven decades, from ten up to one hundred million solar masses. Remarkably, clusters with masses in the range 10^4 to 10^6 solar mases show n…
Overcoming migration during giant planet formation
E. W. Thommes, L. Nilsson, N. Murray
In the core accretion model, gas giant formation is a race between growth and migration; for a core to become a jovian planet, it must accrete its envelope before it spirals into t…
From Thin to Thick: The Impact of X-ray Irradiation on Accretion Disks in AGN
P. Chang, E. Quataert, N. Murray
We argue that the X-ray and UV flux illuminating the parsec-scale accretion disk around luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) is super-Eddington with respect to the local far-infra…
