The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons
S. A. Stern, F. Bagenal, K. Ennico +148
The Pluto system was recently explored by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, making closest approach on 14 July 2015. Pluto's surface displays diverse landforms, terrain ages, albedos…
Linear analysis of the vertical shear instability: outstanding issues and improved solutions (Research Note)
O. M. Umurhan, R. P. Nelson, O. Gressel
The Vertical Shear Instability is one of two known mechanisms potentially active in the so-called dead zones of protoplanetary accretion disks. A recent analysis indicates that a s…
On the mechanism of self gravitating Rossby interfacial waves in proto-stellar accretion discs
Ron Yellin-Bergovoy, Eyal Heifetz, Orkan M. Umurhan
The dynamical response of edge waves under the influence of self-gravity is examined in an idealized two-dimensional model of a proto-stellar disc, characterized in steady state as…
