High-resolution simulations of disc tearing in the GW Orionis triple system
Alison K. Young
The disc around the pre-main-sequence triple star system GW Orionis is known from observations to be warped and broken. Theoretical modelling has produced conflicting results regar…
Introducing two improved methods for approximating radiative cooling in hydrodynamical simulations of accretion discs
Alison K. Young, Maggie Celeste, Richard A. Booth +4
The evolution of many astrophysical systems depends strongly on the balance between heating and cooling, in particular star formation in giant molecular clouds and the evolution of…
On the conditions for warping and breaking protoplanetary discs
Alison K. Young, Struan Stevenson, C. J. Nixon +1
Recent observations demonstrate that misalignments and other out-of-plane structures are common in protoplanetary discs. Many of these have been linked to a central host binary wit…
A triple star system with a misaligned and warped circumstellar disk shaped by disk tearing
Stefan Kraus, Alexander Kreplin, Alison K. Young +29
Young stars are surrounded by a circumstellar disk of gas and dust, within which planet formation can occur. Gravitational forces in multiple star systems can disrupt the disk. The…
Synthetic molecular line observations of the first hydrostatic core from chemical calculations
Alison K. Young, Matthew R. Bate, Tim J. Harries +1
The first stable object to develop in the low-mass star formation process has long been predicted to be the first hydrostatic core (FHSC). Despite much effort, it has still yet to…
Dust-trapping vortices and a potentially planet-triggered spiral wake in the pre-transitional disk of V1247 Orionis
Stefan Kraus, Alexander Kreplin, Misato Fukagawa +8
The radial drift problem constitutes one of the most fundamental problems in planet formation theory, as it predicts particles to drift into the star before they are able to grow t…
What can the SEDs of first hydrostatic core candidates reveal about their nature?
Alison K. Young, Matthew R. Bate, Chris F. Mowat +2
The first hydrostatic core (FHSC) is the first stable object to form in simulations of star formation. This stage has yet to be observed definitively, although several candidate FH…
