A Primordial Origin for the Gas-Rich Debris Disks Around Intermediate-Mass Stars

Riouhei Nakatani, Neal J. Turner, Yasuhiro Hasegawa +4

While most debris disks consist of dust with little or no gas, a fraction has significant amounts of gas detected via emission lines of CO, ionized carbon, and/or atomic oxygen. Al…

3D Radiation Non-ideal Magnetohydrodynamical Simulations Of The Inner Rim In Protoplanetary Disks

M. Flock, S. Fromang, N. J. Turner +1

Many planets orbit within an AU of their stars, raising questions about their origins. Particularly puzzling are the planets found near the silicate sublimation front. We investiga…

Radiation hydrodynamical models of the inner rim in protoplanetary disks

M. Flock, S. Fromang, N. J. Turner +1

Many stars host planets orbiting within a few astronomical units (AU). The occurrence rate and distributions of masses and orbits vary greatly with the host stars mass. These close…

Rossby wave instability does not require sharp resistivity gradients

W. Lyra, N. Turner, C. McNally

Rossby wave instability (RWI) at dead zone boundaries may play an important role in planet formation. Viscous hydrodynamics results suggest RWI is excited only when the viscosity c…

Effect of OH depletion on measurements of the mass-to-flux ratio in molecular cloud cores

K. Tassis, K. Willacy, H. W. Yorke +1

The ratio of mass and magnetic flux determines the relative importance of magnetic and gravitational forces in the evolution of molecular clouds and their cores. Its measurement is…

Global hydromagnetic simulations of a planet embedded in a dead zone: gap opening, gas accretion and formation of a protoplanetary jet

Oliver Gressel, Richard P. Nelson, Neal J. Turner +1

We present global hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with mesh refinement of accreting planets embedded in protoplanetary disks (PPDs). The magnetized disk incl…
