Nonlinear evolution of streaming instabilities in accreting protoplanetary disks
Chun-Yen Hsu, Min-Kai Lin
The streaming instability (SI) is one of the most promising candidates for triggering planetesimal formation by producing dense dust clumps that undergo gravitational collapse. Und…
DPNNet-2.0 Part I: Finding hidden planets from simulated images of protoplanetary disk gaps
Sayantan Auddy, Ramit Dey, Min-Kai Lin +1
The observed sub-structures, like annular gaps, in dust emissions from protoplanetary disk, are often interpreted as signatures of embedded planets. Fitting a model of planetary ga…
On the Vertical Shear Instability in Magnetized Protoplanetary Disks
Can Cui, Min-Kai Lin
The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a robust phenomenon in irradiated protoplanetary disks (PPDs). While there is extensive literature on the VSI in the hydrodynamic limit, PPD…
Which planets trigger longer-lived vortices: low-mass or high-mass?
Michael Hammer, Min-Kai Lin, Kaitlin M. Kratter +1
Recent ALMA observations have found many protoplanetary discs with rings that can be explained by gap-opening planets less massive than Jupiter. Meanwhile, recent studies have sugg…
Stratified and vertically-shearing streaming instabilities in protoplanetary disks
Min-Kai Lin
Under the right conditions, the streaming instability between imperfectly coupled dust and gas is a powerful mechanism for planetesimal formation as it can concentrate dust grains…
A Machine Learning model to infer planet masses from gaps observed in protoplanetary disks
Sayantan Auddy, Min-Kai Lin
Observations of bright protoplanetary disks often show annular gaps in their dust emission. One interpretation of these gaps is disk-planet interaction. If so, fitting models of pl…
