Substructures in Planet-Forming Disks with the SKAO
Yinhao Wu, Jessica Speedie, Sebastián Pérez +33
Disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars are the arenas and material reservoirs for planet formation. Over the past decade, multiwavelength observations, from infrared to radio,…
Next-Generation Atmosphere Models for Giant Planets with Application to Coupled Interior Composition and Spectral Evolution I: Cloudless Models with Equilibrium Chemistry
Yi-Xian Chen, Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Adam Burrows +1
We present updated atmosphere models designed for calculating the post-formation evolution and cooling of giant planets with masses between and . Our tables provide…
Next-Generation Improvements in Giant Exoplanet Evolutionary and Structural Models
Ankan Sur, Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Adam Burrows +1
Many evolutionary models of giant exoplanets still rely on simplifying assumptions that are no longer adequate given detailed constraints from Jupiter, Saturn, and modern exoplanet…
Capture and Escape of Planetary Mean-motion Resonances in Turbulent Discs
Yi-Xian Chen, Yinhao Wu, Ya-Ping Li +4
Mean-motion resonances (MMRs) form through convergent disc migration of planet pairs, which may be disrupted by dynamical instabilities after protoplanetary disc (PPD) dispersal. T…
Planet Migration in Windy Discs
Yinhao Wu, Yi-Xian Chen
Accretion of protoplanetary discs (PPDs) could be driven by MHD disc winds rather than turbulent viscosity. With a dynamical prescription for angular momentum transport induced by…
Concurrent Accretion and Migration of Giant Planets in their Natal Disks with Consistent Accretion Torque
Ya-Ping Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
Migration commonly occurs during the epoch of planet formation. For emerging gas giant planets, it proceeds concurrently with their growth through the accretion of gas from their n…
The Population of Massive Stars in AGN Disks
Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
Gravitational instability in the outskirts of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) disks lead to disk fragmentation and formation of super-massive (several 10^2Msun) stars with potentially…
APPLE: An Evolution Code for Modeling Giant Planets
Ankan Sur, Yubo Su, Roberto Tejada Arevalo +2
We introduce APPLE, a novel planetary evolution code designed specifically for the study of giant exoplanet and Jovian planet evolution in the era of Galileo, Juno, and Cassini. Wi…
Dust Accumulation near the Magnetospheric Truncation of Protoplanetary Discs. II. The Effects of Opacity and Thermal Evolution
Rixin Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
Dust trapping in the global pressure bump induced by magnetospheric truncation offers a promising formation mechanism for close-in super-Earths/sub-Neptunes. These planets likely f…
Chaotic Type I Migration in Turbulent Discs
Yinhao Wu, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
By performing global hydrodynamical simulations of accretion discs with driven turbulence models, we demonstrate that elevated levels of turbulence induce highly stochastic migrati…
3D Global Simulations of Accretion onto Gap-opening Planets: Implications for Circumplanetary Disc Structures and Accretion Rates
Ya-Ping Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
We perform a series of 3D simulations to study the accretion of giant planet embedded in protoplanetary discs (PPDs) over gap-opening timescales. We find that the accretion mass fl…
Jupiter Atmospheric Models and Outer Boundary Conditions for Giant Planet Evolutionary Calculations
Yi-Xian Chen, Adam Burrows, Ankan Sur +1
We present updated atmospheric tables suitable for calculating the post-formation evolution and cooling of Jupiter and Jupiter-like exoplanets. These tables are generated using a 1…
Distinguishing Magnetized Disc Winds from Turbulent Viscosity through Substructure Morphology in Planet-forming Discs
Yinhao Wu, Yi-Xian Chen, Haochang Jiang +5
The traditional paradigm of viscosity-dominated evolution of protoplanetary discs has been recently challenged by magnetized disc winds. However, distinguishing wind-driven and tur…
Chaotic Gas Accretion by Black Holes Embedded in AGN Discs as Cause of Low-spin Signatures in Gravitational Wave Events
Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
Accretion discs around super-massive black holes (SMBH) not only power active galactic nuclei (AGNs), but also host single and binary embedded stellar-mass black holes (EBHs) that…
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)…
Dust Accumulation near the Magnetospheric Truncation of Protoplanetary Discs around T Tauri Stars
Rixin Li, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
The prevalence of short-period super-Earths that are independent of host metallicity challenges the theoretical construction of their origin. We propose that dust trapping in the g…
Wide Dust Gaps in Protoplanetary Disks Induced by Eccentric Planets: A Mass-Eccentricity Degeneracy
Yi-Xian Chen, Zhuoxiao Wang, Ya-Ping Li +2
The tidal perturbation of embedded protoplanets on their natal disks has been widely attributed to be the cause of gap-ring structures in sub-mm images of protoplanetary disks arou…
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…
