Radiation induced warping of protostellar accretion disks
P. J. Armitage, J. E. Pringle
We examine the consequences of radiatively driven warping of accretion disks surrounding pre-main-sequence stars. These disks are stable against warping if the luminosity arises fr…
The ejection of T Tauri stars from molecular clouds and the fate of circumstellar discs
P. J. Armitage, C. J. Clarke
We investigate the evolution of circumstellar discs around T Tauri stars that are ejected from small stellar clusters within molecular clouds. In particular, we study how the inter…
Magnetic braking of T Tauri stars
P. J. Armitage, C. J. Clarke
We construct models for the rotation rates of T Tauri stars whose spin is regulated by magnetic linkage between the star and a surrounding accretion disc. Our models utilise a time…
Magnetically modulated accretion in T Tauri stars
C. J. Clarke, P. J. Armitage, K. W. Smith +1
We examine how accretion on to T Tauri stars may be modulated by a time-dependent `magnetic gate' where the inner edge of the accretion disc is disrupted by a varying stellar field…
