Hydrodynamics of Embedded Planets' First Atmospheres. II. A Rapid Recycling of Atmospheric Gas
Chris W. Ormel, Ji-Ming Shi, Rolf Kuiper
Following Paper I we investigate the properties of atmospheres that form around small protoplanets embedded in a protoplanetary disc by conducting hydrodynamical simulations. These…

Hydrodynamics of Embedded Planets' First Atmospheres. I. A Centrifugal Growth Barrier for 2D Flows
Chris W. Ormel, Rolf Kuiper, Ji-Ming Shi
In the core accretion paradigm of planet formation, gas giants only form a massive atmosphere after their progenitors exceeded a threshold mass: the critical core mass. Most (exo)p…

Gravito-Turbulent Disks in 3D: Turbulent Velocities vs. Depth
Ji-Ming Shi, Eugene Chiang
Characterizing turbulence in protoplanetary disks is crucial for understanding how they accrete and spawn planets. Recent measurements of spectral line broadening promise to diagno…
