Viscous Hydrodynamics Simulations of Circumbinary Accretion Discs: Variability, Quasi-Steady State, and Angular Momentum Transfer
Ryan Miranda, Diego Muñoz, Dong Lai
We carry out numerical simulations of circumbinary discs, solving the viscous hydrodynamics equations on a polar grid covering an extended disc outside the binary co-orbital region…
Planetary engulfment as a trigger for white dwarf pollution
Cristobal Petrovich, Diego J. Muñoz
The presence of a planetary system can shield a planetesimal disk from the secular gravitational perturbations due to distant outer massive objects (planets or stellar companions).…
Pulsed Accretion onto Eccentric and Circular Binaries
Diego J. Muñoz, Dong Lai
We present numerical simulations of circumbinary accretion onto eccentric and circular binaries using the moving-mesh code AREPO. This is the first set of simulations to tackle the…
The formation efficiency of close-in planets via Lidov-Kozai migration: analytic calculations
Diego J. Muñoz, Dong Lai, Bin Liu
Lidov-Kozai oscillations of planets in stellar binaries, combined with tidal dissipation, can lead to the formation of hot Jupiters (HJs) or tidal disruption of planets. Recent pop…
