Dynamics of cold circumstellar gas in debris disks

Can Cui, Sebastian Marino, Quentin Kral +1

Mounting observational evidence indicates that cold circumstellar gas is present in debris disk systems. This work focuses on various dynamical processes that debris-disk gas may u…

On corrugation mode radial wavelengths of the vertical shear instability

Yixuan Dang, Can Cui, Marcelo Barraza-Alfaro

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a promising mechanism to drive turbulence in protoplanetary disks. Numerical simulations in the literature demonstrate that the VSI non-line…

Turbulence in outer protoplanetary disks: MRI or VSI?

Can Cui, Xue-Ning Bai

The outer protoplanetary disks (PPDs) can be subject to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) and the vertical shear instability (VSI). While both processes can drive turbulence…

Millimeter Gap Contrast as a Probe for Turbulence Level in Protoplanetary Disks

Yao Liu, Gesa H. -M. Bertrang, Mario Flock +7

Turbulent motions are believed to regulate angular momentum transport and influence dust evolution in protoplanetary disks. Measuring the strength of turbulence is challenging thro…

Wavelike nature of the vertical shear instability in global protoplanetary disks

Eleonora Svanberg, Can Cui, Henrik N. Latter

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a robust phenomenon in irradiated protoplanetary disks (PPDs). The majority of previous numerical simulations have focused on the turbulent…

The saturation of the VSI in protoplanetary disks via parametric instability

Can Cui, Henrik Latter

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a robust and potentially important phenomenon in irradiated protoplanetary disks (PPDs), yet the mechanism by which it saturates remains poo…
