Feeding the Circumplanetary Disk: 3D Simulations of Dust Filtration and Accretion in PDS 70 c

Charles H. Gardner, Andrea Isella, Hui Li +3

How circumplanetary disks (CPDs) capture and retain solids is central to constraining the timescale for formation of rocky satellites and interpreting submillimeter continuum obser…

Outward Migration of Super-Jupiters

Adam M. Dempsey, Diego J. Muñoz, Yoram Lithwick

Recent simulations show that giant planets of about one Jupiter mass migrate inward at a rate that differs from the Type II prediction. Here we show that at higher masses, planets…

Ring Formation in Protoplanetary Disks Driven by an Eccentric Instability

Jiaru Li, Adam M. Dempsey, Hui Li +1

We find that, under certain conditions, protoplanetary disks may spontaneously generate multiple, concentric gas rings without an embedded planet through an eccentric cooling insta…

Inner Boundary Condition in Quasi-Lagrangian Simulations of Accretion Disks

Adam M. Dempsey, Diego Muñoz, Yoram Lithwick

In simulations of viscously evolving accretion disks, the inner boundary condition is particularly important. If treated incorrectly, it induces incorrect behavior very quickly, be…

Pileups and Migration Rates for Planets in Low Mass Disks

Adam M. Dempsey, Wing-Kit Lee, Yoram Lithwick

We investigate how planets interact with viscous accretion disks, in the limit that the disk is sufficiently low mass that the planet migrates more slowly than the disk material. I…

Long-Lived Eccentricities in Accretion Disks

Wing-Kit Lee, Adam M. Dempsey, Yoram Lithwick

Accretion disks can be eccentric: they support modes that are global and slowly precessing. But whether the modes remain trapped in the disk---and hence are long-lived---depe…
