Disc fragmentation. II. Ejection of low mass Free Floating Planets from growing binary systems

Sergei Nayakshin, Luyao Zhang, Aleksandra Ćalović +4

Observations indicate that disc fragmentation due to Gravitational Instability (GI) is the likely origin of massive companions to stars, such as giant planets orbiting M-dwarf star…

Disc fragmentation. I. Ejection of Jupiter-mass Free Floating Planets from growing binary systems

Aleksandra Ćalović, Sergei Nayakshin, Sarah Casewell +1

Over the past 25 years, observations have uncovered a large population of free-floating planets (FFPs), whose origins remain debated. Massive FFPs (several Jupiter masses or more)…

Dust growth and planet formation by disc fragmentation

Hans Lee, Sergei Nayakshin, Richard A. Booth

It is often argued that gravitational instability of realistic protoplanetary discs is only possible at distances larger than au from the central star, requiring high dis…

Episodic eruptions of young accreting stars: the key role of disc thermal instability due to Hydrogen ionisation

Sergei Nayakshin, Fernando Cruz Saenz de Miera, Agnes Kospal +3

In the classical grouping of large magnitude episodic variability of young accreting stars, FUORs outshine their stars by a factor of 100, and can last for up to centuries;…

On the origin of accretion bursts in FUORs

Sergei Nayakshin, Vardan Elbakyan

Accretion luminosity of young star FU Ori increased from undetectable levels to hundreds of Solar luminosities in 1937 and remains nearly as high at the present time. In a recent p…

Using planet migration and dust drift to weigh protoplanetary discs

Yinhao Wu, Clément Baruteau, Sergei Nayakshin

ALMA has spatially resolved over 200 annular structures in protoplanetary discs, many of which are suggestive of the presence of planets. Constraining the mass of these putative pl…
