Global Simulations of Gravitational Instability in Protostellar Disks with Full Radiation Transport II. Locality of Gravitoturbulence, Clumpy Spirals, and Implications for Observable Substructure
Wenrui Xu, Yan-Fei Jiang, Matthew W. Kunz +1
Spiral perturbations in a gravitationally unstable accretion disk regulate disk evolution through angular-momentum transport and heating and provide an observational signature of g…
Global Simulations of Gravitational Instability in Protostellar Disks with Full Radiation Transport. I. Stochastic Fragmentation with Optical-depth-dependent Rate and Universal Fragment Mass
Wenrui Xu, Yan-Fei Jiang, Matthew W. Kunz +1
Fragmentation in a gravitationally unstable accretion disk can be an important pathway for forming stellar/planetary companions. To characterize quantitatively the condition for an…
A Systematic Study of Planetary Envelope Growth with 3D Radiation-Hydrodynamics Simulations
Avery Bailey, Jim Stone, Jeffrey Fung
In the core accretion model of planet formation, envelope cooling regulates the accretion of material and ultimately sets the timescale to form a giant planet. Given the diversity…
