Local outflows from turbulent accretion disks

Sebastien Fromang, Henrik N. Latter, Geoffroy Lesur +1

The aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of accretion disks threaded by a weak vertical magnetic field, with a particular focus on the interplay between MHD turbulenc…

Large-scale N-body simulations of the viscous overstability in Saturn's rings

Hanno Rein, Henrik Latter

We present results from large-scale particle simulations of the viscous overstability in Saturn's rings. The overstability generates a variety of structure on scales covering a few…

The ballistic transport instability in Saturn's rings I: formalism and linear theory

Henrik Latter, Gordon Ogilvie, Marie Chupeau

Planetary rings sustain a continual bombardment of hypervelocity meteoroids that erode the surfaces of ring particles on time scales of 10^5 - 10^7 years. The debris ejected from s…

Hysteresis and thermal limit cycles in MRI simulations of accretion discs

Henrik N. Latter, John C. B. Papaloizou

The recurrent outbursts that characterise low-mass binary systems reflect thermal state changes in their associated accretion discs. The observed outbursts are connected to the str…

Tidal disruption of satellites and formation of narrow rings

Zoe M. Leinhardt, Gordon I. Ogilvie, Henrik N. Latter +1

In this paper we investigate the formation of narrow planetary rings such as those found around Uranus and Saturn through the tidal disruption of a weak, gravitationally bound sate…

The gravitational instability of a stream of co-orbital particles

Henrik N. Latter, Hanno Rein, Gordon I. Ogilvie

We describe the dynamics of a stream of equally spaced macroscopic particles in orbit around a central body (e.g. a planet or star). A co-orbital configuration of small bodies may…
