The Thermal Regulation of Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks. IV. Simulations with Envelope Irradiation
Kai Cai, Richard H. Durisen, Aaron C. Boley +2
It is generally thought that protoplanetary disks embedded in envelopes are more massive and thus more susceptible to gravitational instabilities (GIs) than exposed disks. We prese…
The Thermal Regulation of Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks III. Simulations with Radiative Cooling and Realistic Opacities
A. C. Boley, A. C. Mejia, R. H. Durisen +3
This paper presents a fully three-dimensional radiative hydrodymanics simulation with realistic opacities for a gravitationally unstable 0.07 Msun disk around a 0.5 Msun star. We a…
The Thermal Regulation of Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks II. Extended Simulations with Varied Cooling Rates
Annie C. Mejia, Richard H. Durisen, Megan K. Pickett +1
In order to investigate mass transport and planet formation by gravitational instabilities (GIs), we have extended our 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks from a p…
The Extended Shapes of Galactic Satellites
S. R. Majewski, A. D. Forestell, J. C. Ostheimer +7
We are exploring the extended stellar distributions of Galactic satellite galaxies and globular clusters. For seven objects studied thus far, the observed profile departs from a Ki…
