Radiating Bondi Flows II: Giant Planet Accretion Models
Avery Bailey, Kaitlin Kratter, Andrew Youdin
In the core accretion model of giant planet formation, the late stages of runaway growth are regulated by the hydrodynamic infall of gas from the protoplanetary disk. For a subset…

Radiating Bondi Flows I: Dimensionless Framework and Constant Opacity Solutions
Avery Bailey, Andrew Youdin, Kaitlin Kratter
In this paper, we extend the foundational work of Bondi (1952) to include the effects of radiative feedback in gas-pressure-dominated environments. We construct steady-state spheri…
