An Upper Limit on Turbulent Viscosity in the Circumjovian Nebula
Konstantin Batygin, Fred C. Adams
Circumplanetary disks are open, dynamic systems sustained by a meridional circulation that draws gas and dust from the parent nebula along nearly polar streamlines, and ultimately…
A Retrieval Framework for Observationally Constraining the Parameters of Circumplanetary Disks
Aster Taylor, Fred Adams
As they form, giant planets are surrounded by disks of gas and dust sourced from the background circumstellar disk. Although there have been few detections to date, upcoming instru…
The Two-Dimensional Structure of Circumplanetary Disks and their Radiative Signatures
Aster G. Taylor, Fred C. Adams, Nuria Calvet
During their formative stages, giant planets are fed by infalling material sourced from the background circumstellar disk. Due to conservation of angular momentum, the incoming gas…
Theoretical Mass Function for Secondaries Forming via Gravitational Instability in Circumstellar Disks
Fred C. Adams, Aster G. Taylor, Michael R. Meyer
This paper constructs a theoretical framework for calculating the distribution of masses for secondary bodies forming via gravitational instability in the outer regions of circumst…
Determination of Jupiter's Primordial Physical State
Konstantin Batygin, Fred C. Adams
The formation and early evolution of Jupiter played a pivotal role in sculpting the large-scale architecture of the solar system, intertwining the narrative of Jovian early years w…
General Analytic Solutions for Circumplanetary Disks during the Late Stages of Giant Planet Formation
Fred C. Adams, Konstantin Batygin
Forming giant planets are accompanied by circumplanetary disks, as indicated by considerations of angular momentum conservation, observations of candidate protoplanets, and the sat…
Radiative Signatures of Circumplanetary Disks and Envelopes During the Late Stages of Giant Planet Formation
Aster G. Taylor, Fred C. Adams
During the late stages of giant planet formation, protoplanets are surrounded by a circumplanetary disk and an infalling envelope of gas and dust. For systems with sufficient cooli…
Exploring the Complex Ionization Environment of the Turbulent DM Tau Disk
Deryl E. Long, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Fred C. Adams +9
Ionization drives important chemical and dynamical processes within protoplanetary disks, including the formation of organics and water in the cold midplane and the transportation…
Formation and Structure of Circumplanetary Disks and Envelopes during the Late Stages of Giant Planet Formation
Aster G. Taylor, Fred C. Adams
Giant planets are expected to form within circumstellar disks, which shape their formation history and the local environment. Here, we consider the formation and structure of circu…
Potential Melting of Extrasolar Planets by Tidal Dissipation
Darryl Z. Seligman, Adina D. Feinstein, Dong Lai +6
Tidal heating on Io due to its finite eccentricity was predicted to drive surface volcanic activity, which was subsequently confirmed by the spacecrafts. Althoug…
Exclusion of Cosmic Rays in Protoplanetary Disks: Stellar and Magnetic Effects
L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Fred C. Adams, Edwin A. Bergin
(Abridged) Cosmic rays (CRs) are thought to provide an important source of ionization in the outermost and densest regions of protoplanetary disks; however, it is unknown to what d…
