The Vertical Structure of Planet-induced Gaps in Proto-Planetary Discs
R. G. Edgar, A. C. Quillen
Giant planets embedded in circumstellar discs are expected to open gaps in these discs. We examine the vertical structure of the gap edges. We find that the planet excites spiral a…
Evidence for Growth of Eccentricity and Mass Clearing in a Disc Interior to a Planet
Richard G. Edgar, Eric Blackman, Alice Quillen +2
We present computational results showing eccentricity growth in the inner portions of a protoplanetary disc. We attribute this to the evolving surface density of the disc. The plan…
Star formation and Asymmetry in the spiral arms of M51-- Variable star formation caused by more than one spiral density wave
Alaina L. Henry, A. C. Quillen, Robert Gutermuth
In the inner 3kpc of M51 we find that logarithmic spirals provide good fits to the peak intensities in molecular gas observed by BIMA in the CO (J=1-0) emission line along the spir…
