From spirals to rings: dust dynamics in gravitoturbulent protoplanetary discs after late infall

Clément Baruteau, Steven Rendon Restrepo, Gaylor Wafflard-Fernandez +7

Substructures appear to be a common trait of all extended protoplanetary discs. They are found notably in discs still surrounded by ambient, possibly infalling material. In this st…
