On the structure and mass delivery towards circumplanetary discs
Matthäus Schulik, Anders Johansen, Bertram Bitsch +2
Circumplanetary discs (CPDs) form around young gas giants and are thought to be the sites of moon formation as well as an intermediate reservoir of gas that feeds the growth of the…

Global 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of gas accretion: The opacity dependent growth of Saturn-mass planets
Matthäus Schulik, Anders Johansen, Bertram Bitsch +1
The full spatial structure and temporal evolution of the accretion flow into the envelopes of growing gas giants in their nascent discs is only accessible in simulations. Such simu…
