Type I planetary migration in a self-gravitating disk
C. Baruteau, F. Masset
We investigate the tidal interaction between a low-mass planet and a self-gravitating protoplanetary disk, by means of two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. We first show that…
On the corotation torque in a radiatively inefficient disk
C. Baruteau, F. Masset
We consider the angular momentum exchange at the corotation resonance between a two-dimensional gaseous disk and a uniformly rotating external potential, assuming that the disk flo…
On the width and shape of gaps in protoplanetary disks
A. Crida, A. Morbidelli, F. Masset
Although it is well known that a massive planet opens a gap in a proto-planetary gaseous disk, there is no analytic description of the surface density profile in and near the gap.…
A top-down scenario for the formation of massive Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
Pierre-Alain Duc, Frederic Bournaud, Frederic Masset
Among those objects formed out of collisional debris during galaxy mergers, the prominent gaseous accumulations observed near the tip of some long tidal tails are the most likely t…
Identifying old Tidal Dwarf Galaxies in Simulations and in the Nearby Universe
Pierre-Alain Duc, Frederic Bournaud, Frederic Masset
Most Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs) so-far discussed in the literature may be considered as young ones or even newborns, as they are still physically linked to their parent galaxies b…
Reversing type II migration: resonance trapping of a lighter giant protoplanet
F. Masset, M. Snellgrove
We present new results related to the coupled evolution of a two giant planet system embedded in a protoplanetary disk, in which a Saturn mass protoplanet is trapped in an outer me…
