Migrating super-Earths in low-viscosity discs: unveiling the roles of feedback, vortices, and laminar accretion flows
Colin P. McNally, Richard P. Nelson, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper +1
We present the highest resolution study to date of super-Earths migrating in inviscid and low-viscosity discs, motivated by the connection to laminar, wind-driven models of protopl…
Low mass planet migration in Hall-affected disks
Colin P. McNally, Richard P. Nelson, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper +2
Recent developments in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks suggest that instead of being traditional turbulent (viscous) accretion disks, they have a…
Low mass planet migration in magnetically torqued dead zones - II. Flow-locked and runaway migration, and a torque prescription
Colin P. McNally, Richard P. Nelson, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper
We examine the migration of low mass planets in laminar protoplanetary discs, threaded by large scale magnetic fields in the dead zone that drive radial gas flows. As shown in Pape…
