The Internal Energy for Molecular Hydrogen in Gravitationally Unstable Protoplanetary Disks
Aaron C. Boley, Thomas W. Hartquist, Richard H. Durisen +1
The gas equation of state may be one of the critical factors for the disk instability theory of gas giant planet formation. This letter addresses the treatment of H in hydrodyn…
