Efficient radiative transfer techniques in hydrodynamic simulations
Anthony Mercer, Dimitris Stamatellos, Alex Dunhill
Radiative transfer is an important component of hydrodynamic simulations as it determines the thermal properties of a physical system. It is especially important in cases where hea…
Planet formation signposts: observability of circumplanetary disks via gas kinematics
Sebastian Perez, Alex Dunhill, Simon Casassus +5
The identification of on-going planet formation requires the finest angular resolutions and deepest sensitivities in observations inspired by state-of-the-art numerical simulations…
1D accretion discs around eccentric planets: observable near-infrared variability
Alex Dunhill
I present the results of 1D models of circumplanetary discs around planets on eccentric orbits. I use a classical viscous heating model to calculate emission fluxes at the waveleng…
The curiously circular orbit of Kepler-16b
Alex Dunhill, Richard Alexander
The recent discovery of a number of circumbinary planets lends a new tool to astrophysicists seeking to understand how and where planet formation takes place. Of the increasingly n…
A limit on eccentricity growth from global 3-D simulations of disc-planet interactions
Alex Dunhill, Richard Alexander, Phil Armitage
We present high resolution 3-D simulations of the planet-disc interaction using smoothed particle hydrodynamics, to investigate the possibility of driving eccentricity growth by th…
