Mass and Angular Momentum Transport in a Gravitationally Unstable Protoplanetary Disk with Improved 3D Radiative Hydrodynamics

Thomas Y. Steiman-Cameron, Richard H. Durisen, Aaron C. Boley +3

During early phases of a protoplanetary disks's life, gravitational instabilities can produce significant mass transport, can dramatically alter disk structure, can mix and shock-p…

Constraints on the initial mass, age and lifetime of Saturn's rings from viscous evolutions that include pollution and transport due to micrometeoroid bombardment

Paul R. Estrada, Richard. H. Durisen

The Cassini spacecraft provided key measurements during its more than twelve year mission that constrain the absolute age of Saturn's rings. These include the extrinsic micrometeor…

Large mass inflow rates in Saturn's rings due to ballistic transport and mass loading

R. H. Durisen, Paul. R. Estrada

The Cassini mission provided key measurements needed to determine the absolute age of Saturn's rings, including the extrinsic micrometeoroid flux at Saturn, the volume fraction of…

A 3D Hydrodynamics Study of Gravitational Instabilities in a Young Circumbinary Disc

Karna M. Desai, Thomas Y. Steiman-Cameron, Scott Michael +2

We present a 3D hydrodynamics study of gravitational instabilities (GIs) in a 0.14 M circumbinary protoplanetary disc orbiting a 1 M star and a 0.02 M…

Gravitational instabilities in a protosolar-like disc II: continuum emission and mass estimates

M. G. Evans, J. D. Ilee, T. W. Hartquist +6

Gravitational instabilities (GIs) are most likely a fundamental process during the early stages of protoplanetary disc formation. Recently, there have been detections of spiral fea…

Gravitational instabilities in a protosolar-like disc I: dynamics and chemistry

M. G. Evans, J. D. Ilee, A. C. Boley +4

To date, most simulations of the chemistry in protoplanetary discs have used 1+1D or 2D axisymmetric -disc models to determine chemical compositions within young systems. This a…
