The interpretation of protoplanetary disc wind diagnostic lines from X-ray photoevaporation and analytical MHD models
Michael L. Weber, Barbara Ercolano, Giovanni Picogna +2
High resolution spectra of typical wind diagnostics ([OI] 6300 Å and other forbidden emission lines) can often be decomposed into multiple components: high-velocity components with…
Modelling thermochemical processes in protoplanetary disks I: numerical methods
T. Grassi, B. Ercolano, L. Szűcs +2
The dispersal phase of planet-forming disks via winds driven by irradiation from the central star and/or magnetic fields in the disk itself is likely to play an important role in t…
Solid accretion onto planetary cores in radiative disks
Apostolos Zormpas, Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano +1
The solid accretion rate, necessary to grow gas giant planetary cores within the disk lifetime, has been a major constraint for theories of planet formation. We tested the solid ac…
Detectability of embedded protoplanets from hydrodynamical simulations
E. Sanchis, G. Picogna, B. Ercolano +2
We predict magnitudes for young planets embedded in transition discs, still affected by extinction due to material in the disc. We focus on Jupiter-size planets at a late stage of…
Radiation-Hydrodynamical Models of X-ray Photoevaporation in Carbon Depleted Circumstellar Discs
Lisa Wölfer, Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano +1
The so-called transition discs provide an important tool to probe various mechanisms that might influence the evolution of protoplanetary discs and therefore the formation of plane…
The dispersal of protoplanetary discs I: A new generation of X-ray photoevaporation models
Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano, James E. Owen +1
Photoevaporation of planet forming discs by high energy radiation from the central star is potentially a crucial mechanism for disc evolution and it may play an important role in t…
