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…
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…
Migration of Gas Giant Planets in Gravitationally Unstable Disks
Scott Michael, Richard H. Durisen, Aaron C. Boley
Characterization of migration in gravitationally unstable disks is necessary to understand the fate of protoplanets formed by disk instability. As part of a larger study, we are us…
Giant Planet Formation
Gennaro D'Angelo, Richard H. Durisen, Jack J. Lissauer
Gas giant planets play a fundamental role in shaping the orbital architecture of planetary systems and in affecting the delivery of volatile materials to terrestrial planets in the…
Stellar Motion Induced by Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks
Scott Michael, R. H. Durisen
We test the effect of assumptions about stellar motion on the behavior of gravitational instabilities in protoplanetary disks around solar-type stars by performing two simulations…
