The growth and hydrodynamic collapse of a protoplanet envelope

Ben A. Ayliffe, Matthew R. Bate

We have conducted three-dimensional self-gravitating radiation hydrodynamical models of gas accretion onto high mass cores (15-33 Earth masses) over hundreds of orbits. Of these mo…

On the accumulation of planetesimals near disc gaps created by protoplanets

Ben A. Ayliffe, Guillaume Laibe, Daniel J. Price +1

We have performed three-dimensional two-fluid (gas-dust) hydrodynamical models of circumstellar discs with embedded protoplanets (3 - 333 M\oplu) and small solid bodies (radii 10cm…

Spatially resolved submm imaging of the HR 8799 debris disk

J. Patience, J. Bulger, R. R. King +7

Dynamical interactions between planets and debris disks may sculpt the disk structure and impact planetary orbits, but only a few systems with both imaged planets and spatially res…

Migration of protoplanets with surfaces through discs with steep temperature gradients

Ben A. Ayliffe, Matthew R. Bate

We perform three-dimensional self-gravitating radiative transfer simulations of protoplanet migration in circumstellar discs to explore the impact upon migration of the radial temp…

Planet migration: self-gravitating radiation hydrodynamical models of protoplanets with surfaces

Ben A. Ayliffe, Matthew R. Bate

We calculate radial migration rates of protoplanets in laminar minimum mass solar nebula discs using three-dimensional self-gravitating radiation hydrodynamical (RHD) models. The p…

Gas accretion by planetary cores

Ben A. Ayliffe, Matthew R. Bate

We present accretion rates obtained from three-dimensional self-gravitating radiation hydrodynamical models of giant planet growth. We investigate the dependence of accretion rates…
