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…
