Brightness variability in polar circumbinary disks

Ian Rabago, Giuseppe Lodato, Stefano Facchini +1

In binary systems with a strongly misaligned disk, the central binary stars can travel a significant vertical distance above and below the disk's orbital plane. This can cause larg…

Evidence for Dust Depletion in a Misaligned Protoplanetary Disk with JWST

C. C. Espaillat, T. Thanathibodee, Z. Zhu +12

Here we report the detection of dust depletion in a misaligned inner disk around UX Tau A using JWST MIRI spectra. Mid-infrared (MIR) continuum "seesaw" variability was detected in…

Warps and Breaks in Circumbinary Discs

Ian Rabago, Zhaohuan Zhu, Stephen Lubow +1

Disc warping, and possibly disc breaking, has been observed in protoplanetary discs around both single and multiple stars. Large warps can break the disc, producing multiple observ…

Grid-Based Simulations of Polar Circumbinary Disks: Polar Alignment and Vortex Formation

Ian Rabago, Zhaohuan Zhu, Rebecca G. Martin +1

We describe the first grid-based simulations of the polar alignment of a circumbinary disk. We simulate the evolution of an inclined disk around an eccentric binary using the grid-…

Polar alignment of a massive retrograde circumbinary disc around an eccentric binary

Charles P. Abod, Cheng Chen, Jeremy Smallwood +3

A test particle orbit around an eccentric binary has two stationary states in which there is no nodal precession: coplanar and polar. Nodal precession of a misaligned test particle…

Constraining Protoplanetary Disk Accretion and Young Planets Using ALMA Kinematic Observations

Ian Rabago, Zhaohuan Zhu

Recent ALMA molecular line observations have revealed 3-D gas velocity structure in protoplanetary disks, shedding light on mechanisms of disk accretion and structure formation. 1)…
