Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of binary-disk interaction. 1: Resonances and disk gap sizes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the gravitational interaction of a generally eccentric binary star system with circumbinary and circumstellar gaseous disks and analytically compute the approximate sizes of disks (or disk gaps) as a function of binary mass ratio and eccentricity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass Flow through Gaps in Circumbinary Disks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate through smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations that a circumbinary disk can supply mass to the central binary through gas streams that penetrate the disk gap without closing it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disk Accretion onto High-Mass Planets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the nonlinear, two-dimensional response of a gaseous, viscous protoplanetary disk to the presence of a planet of one Jupiter mass (1 MJ) and greater that orbits a 1 M☉ star by using the ZEUS hydrodynamics code with high resolution near the planet's Roche lobe.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for tidally driven eccentric instabilities in fluid disks
TL;DR: In this article, the eccentric stability of a fluid disk or ring in the presence of the tidal field of a comparison object which is in circular orbit is investigated, where the disk can have pressure, viscosity, and self-gravity.
