Tidal Torques on Misaligned Disks in Binary Systems
Stephen H. Lubow, Rebecca G. Martin, Chris Nixon
We extend previous studies of the tidal truncation of coplanar disks in binary systems to the more general case of noncoplanar disks. As in the prograde coplanar case, Lindblad res…
The Kozai-Lidov Mechanism in Hydrodynamical Disks
Rebecca G. Martin, Chris Nixon, Stephen H. Lubow +4
We use three dimensional hydrodynamical simulations to show that a highly misaligned accretion disk around one component of a binary system can exhibit global Kozai-Lidov cycles, w…
Giant Outbursts in Be/X-ray Binaries
Rebecca G. Martin, Chris Nixon, Philip J. Armitage +2
Be/X-ray binary systems exhibit both periodic (Type I) X-ray outbursts and giant (Type II) outbursts, whose origin has remained elusive. We suggest that Type II X-ray outbursts occ…
On the evolution of the CO snow line in protoplanetary disks
Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio
CO is thought to be a vital building block for prebiotic molecules that are necessary for life. Thus, understanding where CO existed in a solid phase within the solar nebula is imp…
