Changes in orientation and shape of protoplanetary discs moving through an ambient medium
T. P. G. Wijnen, F. I. Pelupessy, O. R. Pols +1
Misalignments between the orbital planes of planets and the equatorial planes of their host stars have been observed in our solar system, in transiting exoplanets, and in the orbit…
Disc truncation in embedded star clusters: Dynamical encounters versus face-on accretion
T. P. G. Wijnen, O. R. Pols, F. I. Pelupessy +1
Observations indicate that the dispersal of protoplanetary discs in star clusters occurs on time scales of about 5 Myr. Several processes are thought to be responsible for this dis…
Characterising face-on accretion onto and the subsequent contraction of protoplanetary discs
T. P. G. Wijnen, O. R. Pols, F. I. Pelupessy +1
Observations indicate that stars generally lose their protoplanetary discs on a timescale of about 5 Myr. Which mechanisms are responsible for the disc dissipation is still debated…
