Complex gas flows in magnetized protoplanetary disks promote the formation of dust traps at low fragmentation velocities
Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Joanna Drazkowska, Nerea Gurrutxaga +1
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks show a plethora of complex gas structures, including winds, rings, and gaps. These affect dust transport and help…
A Monte Carlo method for tracking dust properties during coagulation in protoplanetary disks
Nerea Gurrutxaga, Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Joanna Drazkowska
Dust growth is a crucial step in planet formation, and the efficiency of this process is controlled by the physical and chemical properties of the dust grains. Monte Carlo-based me…
Carbonaceous Chondrites provide evidence for late-stage planetesimal formation in a pressure bump
Nerea Gurrutxaga, Joanna Drazkowska, Vignesh Vaikundaraman +1
Carbonaceous chondrites are samples from planetesimals that formed 2-4 million years after solar system formation began. They consist of distinct dust components formed at differen…
Turning the knobs on dust evolution: Comparing codes, parameters and their effects on planet formation and disc observables
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Thomas Pfeil, Nicolas Kaufmann +1
Protoplanetary discs contain a wide range of dust sizes that influence their thermal structure and planet formation processes such as planetesimal formation and pebble accretion. D…
mcdust: A 2D Monte Carlo code for dust coagulation in protoplanetary disks
Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Nerea Gurrutxaga, Joanna Drążkowska
mcdust is a parallel simulation code for dust evolution in protoplanetary disks. The code is written in FORTRAN90 and parallelised with OpenMP. The code models dust collisional evo…
Can Close-In Exoplanets form by Pebble Accretion?
Jayashree Narayan, Joanna Drazkowska, Vignesh Vaikundaraman
Pebble accretion is the leading theory for the formation of exoplanets more massive than the Earth. Many parameters influence planet growth in the pebble accretion models. In this…
Refractory carbon depletion by photolysis through dust collisions and vertical mixing
Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Joanna Drazkowska, Fabian Binkert +2
The inner Solar System is depleted in refractory carbon in comparison to the interstellar medium and the depletion likely took place in the protoplanetary disk phase of the Solar S…
Twins in Diversity: Understanding circumstellar disk evolution in the twin clusters of W5 complex
Belinda Damian, Jessy Jose, Swagat R. Das +6
Young star-forming regions in massive environments are ideal test beds to study the influence of surroundings on the evolution of disks around low-mass stars. We explore two distan…
Power and spatial complexity in stochastic reconnection
Amir Jafari, Ethan Vishniac, Vignesh Vaikundaraman
The level of spatial complexity associated with a given vector field on an arbitrary range of scales \iffalse can be quantified by a simple, time-dependent function…
Statistical Analysis of Stochastic Magnetic Fields
Amir Jafari, Ethan Vishniac, Vignesh Vaikundaraman
Previous work has introduced scale-split energy density ψfor a given vector field B in order to quantify the field stochasticity S(t). Application to turbulent magnetic fields lead…
Magnetic stochasticity and diffusion
Amir Jafari, Ethan Vishniac, Vignesh Vaikundaraman
We develop a quantitative relationship between magnetic diffusion and the level of randomness, or stochasticity, of the diffusing magnetic field in a magnetized medium. A general m…
