On the convergence of the critical cooling timescale for the fragmentation of self-gravitating discs
Farzana Meru, Matthew R. Bate
We carry out simulations of gravitationally unstable discs using a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code and a grid-based hydrodynamics code, FARGO, to understand the previous…

From dust to planetesimals: an improved model for collisional growth in protoplanetary disks
Pascale Garaud, Farzana Meru, Marina Galvagni +1
Planet formation occurs within the gas and dust rich environments of protoplanetary disks. Observations of these objects show that the growth of primordial sub micron sized particl…

Treating gravity in thin disk simulations
T. W. A. Müller, W. Kley, F. Meru
In 2D simulations of thin gaseous disks with embedded planets or self-gravity the gravitational potential needs to be smoothed to avoid singularities in the numerical evaluation of…
