From spirals to rings: dust dynamics in gravitoturbulent protoplanetary discs after late infall

Clément Baruteau, Steven Rendon Restrepo, Gaylor Wafflard-Fernandez +7

Substructures appear to be a common trait of all extended protoplanetary discs. They are found notably in discs still surrounded by ambient, possibly infalling material. In this st…

Triggered Fragmentation in Self-Gravitating Protoplanetary discs: Cooling, Mass Movement and Instability

Pratishtha Rawat, Farzana Meru, Rebecca Nealon

Previous three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of gravitationally unstable discs have shown that the formation of a single fragment can trigger the formation of subsequent f…

Revisiting gravitational instability in protostellar discs with improved radiative cooling models

Alison K. Young, Ken Rice, Richard Booth +1

Young discs are expected to be significantly more massive than those observed at Myr and it is at this earliest stage that planet formation likely begins. Such massive discs m…

Reading between the rings: observed dust ring properties as probes of planet masses

Amena Faruqi, Jessica Speedie, Ralph E. Pudritz +1

We hypothesise that dust rings in protoplanetary discs formed by an embedded planet should have properties that reflect the planet's mass. We use 2D hydrodynamical simulations of p…

Disc fragmentation. II. Ejection of low mass Free Floating Planets from growing binary systems

Sergei Nayakshin, Luyao Zhang, Aleksandra Ćalović +4

Observations indicate that disc fragmentation due to Gravitational Instability (GI) is the likely origin of massive companions to stars, such as giant planets orbiting M-dwarf star…

Leading & Trailing Spiral Arms in a Nearly Broken Protoplanetary Disc

Sahl Rowther, Rebecca Nealon, Richard Alexander +1

We perform three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations to investigate the formation of spiral arms in misaligned circumbinary discs. In a nearly broken disc the m…
