The Influence of Dust Composition on Accretion Outbursts
Nicolas Kaufmann, Anna B. T. Penzlin, Alfie Robinson +3
Context: Episodic accretion outbursts have been shown to occur in protoplanetary discs due to thermal instability at the inner edge of the dead zone. These outbursts periodically h…

CO snow lines are stabilised by the vertical transport of volatiles
Alfie Robinson, James E. Owen, Richard A. Booth
Volatile evolution in protoplanetary discs determines the compositional evolution of forming planets. Below their sublimation temperatures, volatiles freeze out from the vapour pha…

The effect of radiation pressure on the dispersal of photoevaporating discs
Alfie Robinson, James E. Owen, Richard A. Booth
Observed IR excesses indicate that protoplanetary discs evolve slowly for the majority of their lifetime before losing their near- and mid-IR excesses on short timescales. Photoeva…
