The Planetary Accretion Shock. II. Grid of Post-Shock Entropies and Radiative Shock Efficiencies for Non-Equilibrium Radiation Transport
Gabriel-Dominique Marleau, Christoph Mordasini, Rolf Kuiper
In the core-accretion formation scenario of gas giants, most of the gas accreting onto a planet is processed through an accretion shock. In this series of papers we study this shoc…

Line-driven ablation of circumstellar discs: IV. The role of disc ablation in massive star formation and its contribution to the stellar upper mass limit
N. D. Kee, R. Kuiper
Radiative feedback from luminous, massive stars during their formation is a key process in moderating accretion onto the stellar object. In the prior papers in this series, we show…

Jets and outflows of massive protostars - From cloud collapse to jet launching and cloud dispersal
Anders Kölligan, Rolf Kuiper
In a comprehensive convergence study, we investigate the computational conditions necessary to resolve disk formation and jet-launching processes, and analyze possible caveats. We…
