An MHD-based model for wind-driven disc-planet interactions
Michael Hammer, Min-Kai Lin
Hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary discs with planets typically assume that the disc is viscously driven, even though magnetic disc winds are now considered the primary dri…
An Exploration of Mars Colonization with Agent-Based Modeling
Edgar Arguello, Sam Carter, Cristina Grieg +4
Establishing a human settlement on Mars is an incredibly complex engineering problem. The inhospitable nature of the Martian environment requires any habitat to be largely self-sus…
How to form compact & other longer-lived planet-induced vortices: VSI, planet migration, or re-triggers, but not feedback
Michael Hammer, Min-Kai Lin
Past computational studies of planet-induced vortices have shown that the dust asymmetries associated with these vortices can be long-lived enough that they should be much more com…
Which planets trigger longer-lived vortices: low-mass or high-mass?
Michael Hammer, Min-Kai Lin, Kaitlin M. Kratter +1
Recent ALMA observations have found many protoplanetary discs with rings that can be explained by gap-opening planets less massive than Jupiter. Meanwhile, recent studies have sugg…
Extreme Debris Disk Variability -- Exploring the Diverse Outcomes of Large Asteroid Impacts During the Era of Terrestrial Planet Formation
Kate Y. L. Su, Alan P. Jackson, Andras Gaspar +14
The most dramatic phases of terrestrial planet formation are thought to be oligarchic and chaotic growth, on timescales of up to 100-200 Myr, when violent impacts occur between lar…
Observational diagnostics of elongated planet-induced vortices with realistic planet formation timescales
Michael Hammer, Paola Pinilla, Kaitlin M. Kratter +1
Gap-opening planets can generate dust-trapping vortices that may explain some of the latest discoveries of high-contrast crescent-shaped dust asymmetries in transition discs. While…
