A fast spectral-multigrid Poisson solver in non-Cartesian geometries

Ankush Mandal, Oliver Gressel, Udo Ziegler +1

Accurate and efficient computation of self-gravity is essential in astrophysical fluid dynamics, particularly in spherical and cylindrical geometries where large radial dynamic ran…

astro-ph.EP2025

Self-gravity in thin protoplanetary discs: 1. The smoothing-length approximation versus the exact self-gravity kernel

S. Rendon Restrepo, T. Rometsch, U. Ziegler +1

Planet-forming discs often contain structures like spiral arms, typically linked to the disc's gravitational forces. In 2D models, an ad hoc softening prescription is commonly used…

First snapshot of a magnetosphere around a Herbig Ae/Be star

S. P. Järvinen, S. Hubrig, M. Küker +6

The Herbig Ae/Be star HD190073 is one of the very few magnetic Herbig Ae/Be stars for which close low-mass companions have been reported. Previously published magnetic field measur…

Gravito-turbulent bi-fluid protoplanetary discs: 1. An analytical perspective to stratification

S. Rendon Restrepo, U. Ziegler, M. Villenave +1

Context. In Class 0/I and the outskirts of Class II circumstellar discs, the self-gravity of gas significantly affects the disc's vertical hydrostatic equilibrium. The contribution…

Toward an efficient second-order method for computing the surface gravitational potential on spherical-polar meshes

Oliver Gressel, Udo Ziegler

Astrophysical accretion discs that carry a significant mass compared with their central object are subject to the effect of self-gravity. In the context of circumstellar discs, thi…

Global hydromagnetic simulations of a planet embedded in a dead zone: gap opening, gas accretion and formation of a protoplanetary jet

Oliver Gressel, Richard P. Nelson, Neal J. Turner +1

We present global hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with mesh refinement of accreting planets embedded in protoplanetary disks (PPDs). The magnetized disk incl…
