Circumbinary disk formation through AGB star winds

Shunquan Huang, Rebecca G. Martin

Circumbinary disks are commonly observed around post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) star binaries, yet their formation and especially their long-term evolution remain unclear.…

Resolving Oblique Star-Disk Collisions in Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: Numerical Requirements and the Importance of Geometry

Shunquan Huang, Xiaoshan Huang, Zhaohuan Zhu +1

Star-disk collisions have been proposed as a promising mechanism for producing quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei. Because the stellar atmospheric scale height is o…

On the physical nature of accretion disc viscosity

R. G. Martin, C. J. Nixon, J. E. Pringle +1

We use well-established observational evidence to draw conclusions about the fundamental nature of the viscosity in accretion discs. To do this, we first summarise the observationa…

On the evolution of the snow line in protoplanetary discs II: Analytic approximations

Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio

We examine the evolution of the snow line in a protoplanetary disc that contains a dead zone (a region of zero or low turbulence). The snow line is within a self-gravitating part o…

Planetary Migration to Large Radii

R. G. Martin, S. H. Lubow, J. E. Pringle +1

There is evidence for the existence of massive planets at orbital radii of several hundred AU from their parent stars where the timescale for planet formation by core accretion is…
