Supernova-Triggered Molecular Cloud Core Collapse and the Rayleigh-Taylor Fingers that Polluted the Solar Nebula
Alan P. Boss,Sandra A. Keiser +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the FLASH adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamics code to calculate the first fully three dimensional (3D) models of the triggering and injection process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present high-contrast Magellan adaptive optics (MagAO) images of HD 7449, a Sun-like star with one planet and a long-term radial velocity (RV) trend.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Jeans Mass Constraint and the Fragmentation of Molecular Cloud Cores
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for a non-uniform spherical grid, artificial fragmentation can be avoided provided that the cell size of a cube with approximately the same volume as the spherical coordinate cell [Δx=(ΔrΔmθΔvx)1/3] is less than λJ/4 (i.e., that the mass inside each cell is much less than a Jeans mass).
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant Planet Formation by Disk Instability in Low Mass Disks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a disk with a mass of at least 0.043 M is sufficient to form a single self-gravitating clump, whereas models with To = 25 K can only form clumps that are not quite self gravitating.
