等温原行星盘共转时碎片的形成

The Formation of Fragments at Corotation in Isothermal Protoplanetary Disks

Richard H. Durisen, Thomas W. Hartquist, Megan K. Pickett

摘要:

数值流体力学模拟表明,当Toomre稳定性参数$Q$足够低时,在局部等温条件下演化的盘会由于引力不稳定性而碎裂成小的致密团块。由于通过盘不稳定性的碎裂被认为是气体巨星行星形成的机制,因此尽可能彻底地理解这一过程背后的物理学是很重要的。在本文中,我们提供了分析参数,为什么在低$Q$,碎片最有可能形成第一个在增长的螺旋模式的共旋半径,我们支持这些参数与三维流体动力学模拟的结果。

英文摘要:

Numerical hydrodynamics simulations have established that disks which are evolved under the condition of local isothermality will fragment into small dense clumps due to gravitational instabilities when the Toomre stability parameter $Q$ is sufficiently low. Because fragmentation through disk instability has been suggested as a gas giant planet formation mechanism, it is important to understand the physics underlying this process as thoroughly as possible. In this paper, we offer analytic arguments for why, at low $Q$, fragments are most likely to form first at the corotation radii of growing spiral modes, and we support these arguments with results from 3D hydrodynamics simulations.
