A Historical Method Approach to Teaching Kepler's 2nd law
Wladimir Lyra
Kepler's 2nd law, the law of the areas, is usually taught in passing, between the 1st and the 3rd laws, to be explained "later on" as a consequence of angular momentum conservation…
The Pencil Code, a modular MPI code for partial differential equations and particles: multipurpose and multiuser-maintained
A. Brandenburg, A. Johansen, P. A. Bourdin +34
The Pencil Code is a highly modular physics-oriented simulation code that can be adapted to a wide range of applications. It is primarily designed to solve partial differential equ…
Visualizing the Kinematics of Planet Formation
Disk Dynamics Collaboration, Philip J. Armitage, Jaehan Bae +23
A stunning range of substructures in the dust of protoplanetary disks is routinely observed across a range of wavelengths. These gaps, rings and spirals are highly indicative of a…
On the Origin and Thermal Stability of Arrokoths and Plutos Ices
C. M. Lisse, L. A. Young, D. P. Cruikshank +30
We discuss in a thermodynamic, geologically empirical way the long-term nature of the stable majority ices that could be present in Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 after its 4.6 Gyr r…
The Sublimative Evolution of (486958) Arrokoth
Jordan K. Steckloff, Carey M. Lisse, Taylor K. Safrit +3
We consider the history of New Horizons target (486958) Arrokoth in the context of its sublimative evolution. Shortly after the Sun's protoplanetary disk (PPD) cleared, the newly i…
Gas and dust dynamics in starlight-heated protoplanetary disks
Mario Flock, Neal J. Turner, Richard P. Nelson +3
Theoretical models of the ionization state in protoplanetary disks suggest the existence of large areas with low ionization and weak coupling between the gas and magnetic fields. I…
