A General Capacity Frontier of Complex Networks

Nicholas Kunz, H. Oliver Gao

From cells to cities, ecosystems to economies, complex networks exhibit peak intensities that define their empirical limit. Estimating these limits traditionally requires domain-sp…

Simulating the thermodynamics of gas, radiation, and multispecies dust: Method and applications to protoplanetary disks

Dhruv Muley, David Melon Fuksman, Prakruti Sudarshan +2

The thermodynamics of protoplanetary disks, governed by a complex interplay between gas, dust, and radiation, exerts a strong influence on their morphology and dynamics at both lar…

A robust super-time-stepping scheme for Ohmic and ambipolar diffusion

Giancarlo Mattia, Mario Flock, David Melon Fuksman +3

Context. Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a key tool for modeling magnetic flux transport in astrophysical systems such as molecular clouds, protostellar cores, and protopla…

MRI-triggered instability at the inner dead zone edge: disc evolution and burst modes tied to magnetic field strengths

Michael Cecil, Mario Flock, Daniel Steiner

The inner edge of the dead zone (DZIE) in protoplanetary discs is prone to episodic instability caused by the activation of the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) in the weakly t…

Substructures Induced by Dust Drag in Protoplanetary Disks

Jiaqing Bi, Mario Flock, Dominik Ostertag +2

Dust substructures observed in protoplanetary disks are commonly attributed to embedded planets; however, intrinsic gas-dust interactions can also generate complex morphologies. We…

A Comparative Study of the Streaming Instability: Unstratified Models with Marginally Coupled Grains

Stanley A. Baronett, Wladimir Lyra, Hossam Aly +19

The streaming instability is a leading mechanism for concentrating solids and initiating planetesimal formation in protoplanetary disks. Although numerous studies have explored its…
