Self-gravitating disc candidates around massive young stars

D. H. Forgan, J. D. Ilee, C. J. Cyganowski +2

There have been several recent detections of candidate Keplerian discs around massive young protostars. Given the relatively large disc-to-star mass ratios in these systems, and th…

Photosynthetic Potential of Planets in 3:2 Spin Orbit Resonances

S. P. Brown, A. J. Mead, D. H. Forgan +2

Photosynthetic life requires sufficient photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) to metabolise. On Earth, plant behaviour, physiology and metabolism are sculpted around the night-…

Triple trouble for XZ Tau: deep imaging with the Jansky Very Large Array

D. Forgan, R. J. Ivison, B. Sibthorpe +2

We present new observations of the XZ Tau system made at high angular resolution (55 milliarcsec) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at a wavelength of 7 mm. Observatio…

Convergence of simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs II: Sensitivity to the implementation of radiative cooling and artificial viscosity

W. K. M. Rice, S. -J. Paardekooper, D. H. Forgan +1

Recently it has been suggested that the fragmentation boundary in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) and FARGO simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs with beta-cooling d…

Convergence of SPH simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs: Sensitivity to the implementation of radiative cooling

W. K. M. Rice, D. H. Forgan, P. J. Armitage

Recent simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs, carried out using a three-dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code by Meru and Bate, have been interpreted as…

A Failure of Serendipity: the Square Kilometre Array will struggle to eavesdrop on Human-like ETI

D. H. Forgan, R. C. Nichol

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will operate in frequency ranges often used by military radar and other communications technology. It has been shown that if Extraterrestrial Intel…
