Induced Turbulence and the Density Structure of the Dust Layer in a Protoplanetary Disk

Taku Takeuchi, Takayuki Muto, Satoshi Okuzumi +2

We study the turbulence induced in the dust layer of a protoplanetary disk based on the energetics of dust accretion due to gas drag. We estimate turbulence strength from the energ…

The Structure of a Self-Gravitating Protoplanetary Disk and its Implications to Direct Imaging Observations

Takayuki Muto

We consider the effects of self-gravity on the hydrostatic balance in the vertical direction of a gaseous disk and discuss the possible signature of the self-gravity that may be ca…

On the Interaction between a Protoplanetary Disk and a Planet in an Eccentric Orbit: Application of Dynamical Friction

Takayuki Muto, Taku Takeuchi, Shigeru Ida

We present a new analytic approach to the disk-planet interaction that is especially useful for planets with eccentricity larger than the disk aspect ratio. We make use of the dyna…

Resonant Trapping of Stars by Merging Massive Black Hole Binaries

Naoki Seto, Takayuki Muto

A massive black hole binary might resonantly trap a star (e.g. a white dwarf) and the gas released by its tidal disruption might emit electromagnetic wave signals around the coales…

Direct Imaging of Fine Structures in Giant Planet Forming Regions of the Protoplanetary Disk around AB Aurigae

J. Hashimoto, M. Tamura, T. Muto +49

We report high-resolution 1.6 $\micron$ polarized intensity () images of the circumstellar disk around the Herbig Ae star AB Aur at a radial distance of 22 AU () up to 5…
