The Long-Term Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems
Melvyn B. Davies, Fred C. Adams, Philip Armitage +5
This chapter concerns the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary systems from both theoretical and observational perspectives. We begin by discussing the planet-planet interact…
The Dispersal of Protoplanetary Disks
Richard Alexander, Ilaria Pascucci, Sean Andrews +2
Protoplanetary disks are the sites of planet formation, and the evolution and eventual dispersal of these disks strongly influences the formation of planetary systems. Disk evoluti…
Two timescale dispersal of magnetized protoplanetary disks
Philip J. Armitage, Jacob B. Simon, Rebecca G. Martin
Protoplanetary disks are likely to be threaded by a weak net flux of vertical magnetic field that is a remnant of the much larger fluxes present in molecular cloud cores. If this f…
Formation of circumbinary planets in a dead zone
Rebecca G. Martin, Philip J. Armitage, Richard D. Alexander
Circumbinary planets have been observed at orbital radii where binary perturbations may have significant effects on the gas disk structure, on planetesimal velocity dispersion, and…
Turbulence In the Outer Regions of Protoplanetary Disks. II. Strong Accretion Driven by a Vertical Magnetic Field
Jacob B. Simon, Xue-Ning Bai, Philip J. Armitage +2
We carry out a series of local, vertically stratified shearing box simulations of protoplanetary disks that include ambipolar diffusion and a net vertical magnetic field. The ambip…
The interplay between X-ray photoevaporation and planet formation
Giovanni P. Rosotti, Barbara Ercolano, James E. Owen +1
We assess the potential of planet formation instigating the early formation of a photoevaporation driven gap, up to radii larger than typical for photoevaporation alone. For our in…
