The effect of cooling on the global stability of self-gravitating protoplanetary discs

W. K. M. Rice, P. J. Armitage, M. R. Bate +1

Using a local model Gammie (2001) has shown that accretion discs with cooling times t_cool <= 3/Omega fragment into gravitationally bound objects, while those with cooling times t_…
