Oxygen Isotope Constraints on the Importance of Photochemical Processing in Protoplanetary Disks
Fred J. Ciesla, Eric Van Clepper, Jennifer Bergner +1
Observations have revealed evidence of photochemical processing in protoplanetary disks. This processing occurs in the photon dominated layer, the optically thin regions of the dis…
Dust Recycling and Icy Volatile Enhancement (DRIVE): A Novel Method of Volatile Enrichment in Cold Giant Planets
Eric R. Van Clepper, Felipe Alarcón, Edwin Bergin +1
Giant planet atmospheres are thought to reflect the gas phase composition of the disk when and where they formed. However, these atmospheres may also be polluted via solid accretio…
Dynamics of small, constant size particles in a protoplanetary disk with an embedded protoplanet
Ellen M. Price, Eric Van Clepper, Fred J. Ciesla
Hydrodynamical simulations of protoplanetary disk dynamics are useful tools for understanding the formation of planetary systems, including our own. Approximations are necessary to…
Three-dimensional transport of solids in a protoplanetary disk containing a growing giant planet
Eric Van Clepper, Ellen M. Price, Fred J. Ciesla
We present the results of combined hydrodynamic and particle tracking post-processing modeling to study the transport of small dust in a protoplanetary disk containing an embedded…
