Streaming Torque with Turbulent Diffusion
Qiang Hou, Cong Yu
Fast type-I migration of (proto)planets poses a challenging problem for the core accretion formation scenario. We found that the dust-induced ``Streaming Torque (ST)'' may slow dow…
Irradiated Atmospheres I: Heating by Vertical-Mixing Induced Energy Transport
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Hui-Sheng Zhong +3
Observations have revealed unique temperature profiles in hot Jupiter atmospheres. We propose that the energy transport by vertical mixing could lead to such thermal features. In o…
Constraining the Presence of Companion Planets in Hot Jupiter Planetary System Using TTV Observation from TESS
Zixin Zhang, Wenqin Wang, Xinyue Ma +7
The presence of another planetary companion in a transiting exoplanet system can impact its transit light curve, leading to sinusoidal transit timing variations (TTV). By utilizing…
Vertical Shear Instability with Partially Reflecting Boundary Conditions
Yuzi Wu, Cong Yu, Can Cui
The vertical shear instability (VSI) is widely believed to be effective in driving turbulence in protoplanetary disks. Prior studies on VSI exclusively exploit the reflecting bound…
Boundary Layers of Circumplanetary Disks around Spinning Planets II. Global Modes with Azimuthal Magnetic Fields
Zhihao Fu, Shunquan Huang, Cong Yu
The accretion of material from disks onto weakly magnetized objects invariably involves its traversal through a material surface, known as the boundary layer (BL). Our prior studie…
Streaming Torque in Dust-Gas Coupled Protoplanetary Disks
Qiang Hou, Cong Yu
We investigate the migration of low-mass protoplanets embedded in dust-gas coupled protoplanetary disks. Linear calculations are performed with respect to the NSH (Nakagawa-Sekiya-…
