The Thermal Regulation of Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks II. Extended Simulations with Varied Cooling Rates
Annie C. Mejia, Richard H. Durisen, Megan K. Pickett +1
In order to investigate mass transport and planet formation by gravitational instabilities (GIs), we have extended our 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks from a p…

The Thermal Regulation of Gravitational Instabilities in Disks Around Young Stars
Annie C. Mejia
Gravitational instabilities (GIs) are spiral distortions in a self-gravitating disk that appear wherever the local surface density and temperature become favorable for their growth…
