The response of an accretion disc to an inclined dipole with application to AA Tau

Caroline Terquem, John C. B. Papaloizou

We compute the warping of a disc induced by an inclined dipole. We consider a magnetised star surrounded by a thin Keplerian diamagnetic disc with an inner edge that corotates with…

On the HR 4796A circumstellar disk

J. C. Augereau, A. M. Lagrange, D. Mouillet +2

We investigate in details the properties of the disk surrounding the 8 Myr old star HR 4796A, one of the few stars bringing precious clues to better understand the scenario which l…

Discs and Planetary Formation

J. Papaloizou, C. Terquem, R. Nelson

The formation, structure and evolution of protoplanetary discs is considered. The formation of giant planets within the environment of these models is also discussed.

Tidally-induced warps in protostellar discs

C. Terquem, J. Papaloizou, R. Nelson

We review results on the dynamics of warped gaseous discs. We consider tidal perturbation of a Keplerian disc by a companion star orbiting in a plane inclined to the disc. The pert…

Planet formation, orbital evolution and planet-star tidal interaction

D. N. C. Lin, J. C. B. Papaloizou, G. Bryden +2

We consider several processes operating during the late stages of planet formation that can affect observed orbital elements. Disk-planet interactions, tidal interactions with the…

N-body simulations using customised potential-density pair basis sets

M. J. W. Brown, J. C. B. Papaloizou

Potential-density pair basis sets can be used for highly efficient N-body simulation codes, but they suffer from a lack of versatility, i.e. a basis set has to be constructed for e…
