Accretion across scales: streamers, surface-layer transport, and rapid replenishment in young protoplanetary discs

Christian Granzow Holm, Michiel Lambrechts, Michael Kuffmeier +3

Protoplanetary discs evolve around newly-formed stars through an interplay of infall from surrounding turbulent cloud material, accretion towards the young star, and outflow driven…

The Formation of Protoplanetary Disks through Pre-Main Sequence Bondi-Hoyle Accretion

Paolo Padoan, Liubin Pan, Veli-Matti Pelkonen +2

Protoplanetary disks are traditionally described as finite mass reservoirs left over by the gravitational collapse of the protostellar core, a view that strongly constrains both di…

Origin and Evolution of Angular Momentum of Class II Disks

Veli-Matti Pelkonen, Paolo Padoan, Mika Juvela +2

Context: While class II pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars have already accreted most of their mass, the continued inflow of fresh material via Bondi-Hoyle accretion acts as an addition…

Will ALMA Reveal the True Core Mass Function of Protoclusters?

Paolo Padoan, Veli-Matti Pelkonen, Mika Juvela +2

Characterizing prestellar cores in star-forming regions is an important step towards the validation of theoretical models of star formation. Thanks to their sub-arcsecond resolutio…

Transport, destruction and growth of pebbles in the gas envelope of a protoplanet

Anders Johansen, Åke Nordlund

We analyse the size evolution of pebbles accreted into the gaseous envelope of a protoplanet growing in a protoplanetary disc, taking into account collisions driven by the relative…

The Effect of Supernovae on the Turbulence and Dispersal of Molecular Clouds

Zu-Jia Lu, Veli-Matti Pelkonen, Paolo Padoan +3

While the importance of supernova feedback in galaxies is well established, its role on the scale of molecular clouds is still debated. In this work, we focus on the impact of supe…
