Journal ArticleDOI
Clumps in the outer disk by disk instability: Why they are initially gas giants and the legacy of disruption
TL;DR: In this article, the initial conditions for fragments in the extended regions ( r ≳ 50 AU ) of gravitationally unstable disks are explored, and the consequences of disrupted clumps for planet formation, dust processing, and disk evolution are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The thermal regulation of gravitational instabilities in protoplanetary disks. III. Simulations with radiative cooling and realistic opacities
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a fully three-dimensional radiative hydrodymanics simulation with realistic opacities for a gravitationally unstable 0.07 M disk around a 0.5 M star.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Thermal Regulation of Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks. II. Extended Simulations with Varied Cooling Rates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended their three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks from a previous paper to determine the asymptotic behavior of GIs and how it is affected by different constant cooling times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical and luminosity evolution of active galactic nuclei - Models with a mass spectrum
TL;DR: In this article, a multimass energy-space Fokker-Planck code is used to follow the dynamical and luminosity evolution of an AGN model that consists of a dense stellar system surrounding a massive black hole.
