Turbulent Transport of Dust Particles in Protostellar Disks: The Effect of Upstream Diffusion
Tingtao Zhou, Hongping Deng, Yi-Xian Chen +1
We study the long-term radial transport of micron to mm-size grain in protostellar disks (PSDs) based on diffusion and viscosity coefficients measured from 3D global stratified-dis…
Prograde and Retrograde Gas Flow around Disk-embedded Companions: Dependence on Eccentricity, Mass and Disk Properties
Yi-Xian Chen, Avery Bailey, James M. Stone +1
We apply 3D hydrodynamical simulations to study the rotational aspect of gas flow patterns around eccentric companions embedded in an accretion disk around its primary host. We sam…
Spin Evolution of Stellar-mass Black Holes Embedded in AGN disks: Orbital Eccentricity Produces Retrograde Circumstellar Flows
Ya-Ping Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin +1
Spin evolution of stellar-mass Black Holes (sBHs) embedded in AGN accretion disks is an important process relevant to production of gravitaional waves from binary Black Hole (BBH)…
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…
The Preservation of Super Earths and the Emergence of Gas Giants after Their Progenitor Cores have Entered the Pebble Isolation Phase
Yi-Xian Chen, Ya-Ping Li, Hui Li +1
The omnipresence of super-Earths suggests that they are able to be retained in natal disks around low-mass stars, whereas exoplanets' mass distribution indicates that some cores ha…
