The Fragmentation Mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of theoretical models of fragmentation based on numerical hydrodynamical calculations in three spatial dimensions, using both finite-difference and smoothed particle hydroynamics techniques, is presented.

Nonaxisymmetry in the Solar Nebula: Disk Evolution or Giant Gaseous Protoplanet Formation?

Alan P. Boss
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D hydrodynamics model of a 2D protoplanetary disk with a mass of N 0.14Mo was proposed to predict the formation of terrestrial and giant gaseous protoplanets.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of the Approach to Gas Disk Gravitational Instability on the Rapid Formation of Gas Giant Planets

TL;DR: In this article, initial disk masses of 0.091$M_\odot$ extending from 4 to 20 au around a 1 $M_ ǫ -proto-probstar were presented, with a range (1 to 100) of $\beta$ cooling parameters.
