A highly non-Keplerian protoplanetary disc: Spiral structure in the gas disc of CQ Tau
Lisa Wölfer, Stefano Facchini, Nicolas T. Kurtovic +9
In the past years, high angular resolution observations have revealed that circumstellar discs appear in a variety of shapes with diverse substructures being ubiquitous. This has g…
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…
Extrasolar planets: from dust to new worlds
Barbara Ercolano
Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered and the search for life outside Earth is at the forefront of astrophysical research. The planets we observe show a mind-blowing diversi…
Hydrogen recombination line luminosities and -variability from forming planets
J. Szulágyi, B. Ercolano
We calculated hydrogen recombination line luminosities (H-, Paschen- and Brackett-) from three dimensional thermo-hydrodynamical simulations of forming planets from 1 to 1…
