The Effects of Metallicity and Grain Size on Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks
Kai Cai, Richard H. Durisen, Scott Michael +4
Observational studies show that the probability of finding gas giant planets around a star increases with the star's metallicity. Our latest simulations of disks undergoing gravita…

A Possible Hybrid Scenario for Gas Giant Planet Formation in Rings
Richard H. Durisen, Kai Cai, Annie C. Mejia +1
The core-accretion mechanism for gas giant formation may be too slow to create all observed gas giant planets during reasonable gas disk lifetimes, but it has yet to be firmly esta…
