Accretion Disk Magnetic Braking
Kurt Liffman
A protostellar disk is threaded by a static magnetic field that is perpendicular to the disk-surface. The magnetic field acts to brake the protostellar disk and cause the disk mate…
Inviscid protostellar disc ring formation and high density ring edges due to the ejection and subsequent infall of material onto a protostellar disc
Kurt Liffman
Discs of gas and dust are ubiquitous around protostars. Hypothetical disc viscosity is thought to cause the gas and dust to accrete onto the star. Turbulence within the disc might…
Infrared Variability due to Magnetic Pressure Driven Jets, Dust Ejection and Quasi-Puffed-Up Inner Rims
Kurt Liffman, Geoffrey Bryan, Mark Hutchison +1
The interaction between a YSO stellar magnetic field and its protostellar disc can result in stellar accretional flows and outflows from the inner disc rim. Gas flows with a veloci…
Fine-grained rim formation -- high speed, kinetic dust aggregation in the early Solar System
Kurt Liffman
Type 3 chondritic meteorites often contain chondrules and refractory inclusions that are coated with accretionary, fine-grained rims (FGRs). FGRs are of low porosity, were subject…
The fulcrum wavelength of young stellar objects -- the case of LRLL 31
Geoffrey R. Bryan, Sarah T. Maddison, Kurt Liffman
A small subset of young stellar objects (YSOs) exhibit "see-saw" temporal variations in their mid-infrared SED; as the flux short-ward of a fulcrum wavelength () increases t…
A Unified Framework for Producing CAI Melting, Wark-Lovering Rims and Bowl-Shaped CAIs
Kurt Liffman, Nicolas Cuello, David A. Paterson
Calcium Aluminium Inclusions (CAIs) formed in the Solar System, some 4,567 million years ago. CAIs are almost always surrounded by Wark-Lovering Rims (WLRs), which are a sequence o…
