Measuring turbulent motion in planet-forming disks with ALMA: A detection around DM Tau and non-detections around MWC 480 and V4046 Sgr
Kevin Flaherty, A. Meredith Hughes, Jacob B. Simon +6
Turbulence is a crucial factor in many models of planet formation, but it has only been directly constrained among a small number of planet forming disks. Building on the upper lim…
The Nature of Turbulence in the Outer Regions of Protoplanetary Disks
Daniel A. Gole, Jacob B. Simon
We carry out a series of local, shearing box simulations of the outer regions of protoplanetary disks, where ambipolar diffusion is important due to low ionization levels, to bette…
Origin of Weak Turbulence in the Outer Regions of Protoplanetary Disks
Jacob B. Simon, Xue-Ning Bai, Kevin M. Flaherty +1
The mechanism behind angular momentum transport in protoplanetary disks, and whether this transport is turbulent in nature, is a fundamental issue in planet formation studies. Rece…
Turbulence, Transport and Waves in Ohmic Dead Zones
Daniel Gole, Jacob B. Simon, Stephen H. Lubow +1
We use local numerical simulations to study a vertically stratified accretion disk with a resistive mid-plane that damps magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This is an idealized…
The Mass and Size Distribution of Planetesimals Formed by the Streaming Instability. I. The Role of Self-Gravity
Jacob B. Simon, Philip J. Armitage, Rixin Li +1
We study the formation of planetesimals in protoplanetary disks from the gravitational collapse of solid over-densities generated via the streaming instability. To carry out these…
Magnetically driven accretion in protoplanetary discs
Jacob B. Simon, Geoffroy Lesur, Matthew W. Kunz +1
We characterize magnetically driven accretion at radii between 1 au and 100 au in protoplanetary discs, using a series of local non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The…
