Global Simulations of Gravitational Instability in Protostellar Disks with Full Radiation Transport. I. Stochastic Fragmentation with Optical-depth-dependent Rate and Universal Fragment Mass
Wenrui Xu, Yan-Fei Jiang, Matthew W. Kunz +1
Fragmentation in a gravitationally unstable accretion disk can be an important pathway for forming stellar/planetary companions. To characterize quantitatively the condition for an…
Thermal Structure Determines Kinematics: Vertical Shear Instability in Stellar Irradiated Protoplanetary Disks
Shangjia Zhang, Zhaohuan Zhu, Yan-Fei Jiang
Turbulence is crucial for protoplanetary disk dynamics, and Vertical Shear Instability (VSI) is a promising mechanism in outer disk regions to generate turbulence. We use Athena++…
Cosmic-Ray Acceleration of Galactic Outflows in Multiphase Gas
Lucia Armillotta, Eve C. Ostriker, Chang-Goo Kim +1
We investigate the dynamical interaction between cosmic rays (CRs) and the multiphase interstellar medium (ISM) using numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with a two-mom…
