Coorbital thermal torques on low-mass protoplanets
Frederic S. Masset
Using linear perturbation theory, we investigate the torque exerted on a low-mass planet embedded in a gaseous protoplanetary disc with finite thermal diffusivity. When the planet…
Orbital advection with magnetohydrodynamics and vector potential
Wladimir Lyra, Colin P. McNally, Tobias Heinemann +1
Orbital advection is a significant bottleneck in disk simulations, and a particularly tricky one when used in connection with magnetohydrodynamics. We have developed an orbital adv…
Improved torque formula for low and intermediate mass planetary migration
María Alejandra Jiménez, Frédéric S. Masset
The migration of planets on nearly circular, non-inclined orbits in protoplanetary discs is entirely described by the disc's torque. This torque is a complex function of the disc p…
Evolution of eccentricity and inclination of hot protoplanets embedded in radiative discs
Henrik Eklund, Frédéric S. Masset
We study the evolution of the eccentricity and inclination of protoplanetary embryos and low-mass protoplanets (from a fraction of an Earth mass to a few Earth masses) embedded in…
