Assembling the Building Blocks of Giant Planets around Intermediate Mass Stars
K. A. Kretke, D. N. C. Lin, P. Garaud +1
We examine a physical process that leads to the efficient formation of gas giant planets around intermediate mass stars. In the gaseous protoplanetary disks surrounding rapidly-acc…
Dead Zone Accretion Flows in Protostellar Disks
N. J. Turner, T. Sano
Planets form inside protostellar disks in a dead zone where the electrical resistivity of the gas is too high for magnetic forces to drive turbulence. We show that much of the dead…
Spitzer/MIPS Limits on Asteroidal Dust in the Pulsar Planetary System PSR B1257+1
G. Bryden, C. A. Beichman, G. H. Rieke +5
With the MIPS camera on Spitzer, we have searched for far-infrared emission from dust in the planetary system orbiting pulsar PSR 1257+12. With accuracies of 0.05 mJy at 24 um and…
Local Three-Dimensional Simulations of Magneto-Rotational Instability in Radiation-Dominated Accretion Disks
N. J. Turner, J. M. Stone, J. H. Krolik +1
We examine the small-scale dynamics of black hole accretion disks in which radiation pressure exceeds gas pressure. Local patches of disk are modeled by numerically integrating the…
