Simulating the thermodynamics of gas, radiation, and multispecies dust: Method and applications to protoplanetary disks

Dhruv Muley, David Melon Fuksman, Prakruti Sudarshan +2

The thermodynamics of protoplanetary disks, governed by a complex interplay between gas, dust, and radiation, exerts a strong influence on their morphology and dynamics at both lar…

Spiral excitation in protoplanetary disks through gap-edge illumination: Distinctive kinematic signatures in CO isotopologues

Dhruv Muley, León-Alexander Hühn, Haochang Jiang +1

High-resolution, near-infrared observations have revealed prominent, two-armed spirals in a multitude of systems, such as MWC~758, SAO~206462, and V1247~Ori. Alongside the classica…

Multidimensional half-moment multigroup radiative transfer. Improving moment-based thermal models of circumstellar disks

David Melon Fuksman, Mario Flock, Hubert Klahr +2

Common moment-based radiative transfer methods, such as flux-limited diffusion (FLD) and the M1 closure, suffer from artificial interactions between crossing beams. In protoplaneta…

Can gap-edge illumination excite spirals in protoplanetary disks? Three-temperature radiation hydrodynamics and NIR image modelling

Dhruv Muley, Julio David Melon Fuksman, Hubert Klahr

The advent of high-resolution, near-infrared instruments such as VLT/SPHERE and Gemini/GPI has helped uncover a wealth of substructure in planet-forming disks, including large, pro…

Three-temperature radiation hydrodynamics with PLUTO: Thermal and kinematic signatures of accreting protoplanets

Dhruv Muley, Julio David Melon Fuksman, Hubert Klahr

In circumstellar disks around young stars, the gravitational influence of nascent planets produces telltale patterns in density, temperature, and kinematics. To better understand t…

Three-temperature radiation hydrodynamics with PLUTO: Tests and applications to protoplanetary disks

Dhruv Muley, Julio David Melon Fuksman, Hubert Klahr

In circumstellar disks around T Tauri stars, visible and near-infrared stellar irradiation is intercepted by dust at the disk's optical surface and reprocessed into thermal infrare…

CI Tau: A controlled experiment in disk-planet interaction

Dhruv Muley, Ruobing Dong

CI Tau is a young (~2 Myr) T Tauri system with a substantial near-infrared excess in its SED, indicating that the protoplanetary disk extends very close to its star. This is seemin…

Observational Signatures of Planets in Protoplanetary Disks: Temperature structures in spiral arms

Dhruv Muley, Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung

High-resolution imaging of protoplanetary disks has unveiled a rich diversity of spiral structure, some of which may arise from disk-planet interaction. Using 3D hydrodynamics with…

On the diversity of asymmetries in gapped protoplanetary disks

Nienke van der Marel, Til Birnstiel, Antonio Garufi +7

Protoplanetary disks with large inner dust cavities are thought to host massive planetary or substellar companions. These disks show asymmetries and rings in the millimeter continu…

Progenitor-mass-dependent yields amplify intrinsic scatter in dwarf-galaxy elemental abundance ratios

Dhruv A. Muley, Coral R. Wheeler, Philip F. Hopkins +3

In hydrodynamic simulations, prevailing subgrid chemical-evolution models often use a single, "IMF-averaged" supernova yield, ignoring variations in elemental abundance ratios (par…

A Staggered Semi-Analytic Method for Simulating Dust Grains Subject to Gas Drag

Jeffrey Fung, Dhruv Muley

Numerical simulations of dust-gas dynamics are one of the fundamental tools in astrophysical research, such as the study of star and planet formation. It is common to find tightly…

PDS 70: A transition disk sculpted by a single planet

Dhruv Muley, Jeffrey Fung, Nienke van der Marel

The wide, deep cavities of transition disks are often believed to have been hollowed out by nascent planetary systems. PDS 70, a Myr old transition disk system in which a…
