Characterising thermal sweeping: a rapid disc dispersal mechanism
James E. Owen, Mathias Hudoba de Badyn, Cathie J. Clarke +1
(Abridged) We consider the properties of protoplanetary discs that are undergoing inside-out clearing by photoevaporation. In particular, we aim to characterise the conditions unde…
Testing protoplanetary disc dispersal with radio emission
James E. Owen, Anna M. M. Scaife, Barbara Ercolano
We consider continuum free-free radio emission from the upper atmosphere of protoplanetary discs as a probe of the ionized luminosity impinging upon the disc. Making use of previou…
Evolutionary constraints on the planetary hypothesis for transition discs
C. J. Clarke, J. E. Owen
We assume a scenario in which transition discs (i.e. discs around young stars that have signatures of cool dust but lack significant near infra-red emission from warm dust) are ass…
Kepler planets: a tale of evaporation
James E. Owen, Yanqin Wu
(Abridged) Inspired by the Kepler planet discoveries, we consider the thermal contraction of planets close to their parent star, under the influence of evaporation. The mass-loss r…
The interplay between X-ray photoevaporation and planet formation
Giovanni P. Rosotti, Barbara Ercolano, James E. Owen +1
We assess the potential of planet formation instigating the early formation of a photoevaporation driven gap, up to radii larger than typical for photoevaporation alone. For our in…
