Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a theory of interstellar turbulence. 2. Strong Alfvenic turbulence
Peter Goldreich,S. Sridhar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed derivation of the inertial range spectrum for the weak turbulence of shear Alfven waves is presented, where the authors restrict attention to the symmetric case where the oppositely directed waves carry equal energy fluxes and show that as energy cascades to high perpendicular wavenumbers, interactions become so strong that the assumption of weakness is no longer valid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Energy Distributions of T Tauri Stars with Passive Circumstellar Disks
Eugene Chiang,Peter Goldreich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive hydrostatic, radiative equilibrium models for passive disks surrounding T Tauri stars, where each disk is encased by an optically thin layer of superheated dust grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disk-Satellite Interactions
Peter Goldreich,Scott Tremaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the rate at which angular momentum and energy are transferred between a disk and a satellite which orbit the same central mass, and show that substantial changes in both the structure of the disk and the orbit of Jupiter must have taken place on a time scale of a few thousand years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation of planetesimals.
Peter Goldreich,William R. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, four stages in the accretion of planetesimals are described, the initial stage is the condensation of dust particles from the gaseous solar nebula as it cools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Q in the solar system
Peter Goldreich,Steven Soter +1 more
TL;DR: Tidal dissipation function in solar system, examining cases having appreciable evolution since origin of planets and satellites as discussed by the authors, examined cases having interesting evolution since the discovery of the solar system.
