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…

Quasi-static contraction during runaway gas accretion onto giant planets
Michiel Lambrechts, Elena Lega, Richard P. Nelson +2
Gas-giant planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, acquire massive gaseous envelopes during the approximately 3 Myr-long lifetimes of protoplanetary discs. In the core accretion scenario,…
