Horseshoes and spiral waves: capturing the 3D flow induced by a low-mass planet analytically

JJ Brown, GI Ogilvie - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
The key difficulty faced by 2D models for planet–disc interaction is in appropriately
accounting for the impact of the disc's vertical structure on the dynamics. 3D effects are often …

Planet–disk interaction in three dimensions: The importance of buoyancy waves

Z Zhu, JM Stone, RR Rafikov - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We carry out local three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic simulations of planet–disk
interaction in stratified disks with varied thermodynamic properties. We find that whenever …

Eccentric planet-disc interactions: orbital migration and eccentricity evolution

CW Fairbairn, RR Rafikov - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2025 - academic.oup.com
Gravitational coupling between a protoplanetary disc and an embedded eccentric planet is
an important, long-standing problem, which has been not yet been conclusively explored …

Density waves in protoplanetary discs excited by eccentric planets: linear theory

CW Fairbairn, RR Rafikov - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Spiral density waves observed in protoplanetary discs have often been used to infer the
presence of embedded planets. This inference relies both on simulations as well as the …

Buoyancy response of a disc to an embedded planet: a cross-code comparison at high resolution

A Ziampras, SJ Paardekooper… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
In radiatively inefficient, laminar protoplanetary discs, embedded planets can excite a
buoyancy response as gas gets deflected vertically near the planet. This results in vertical …

Planet–disk interaction in disks with cooling: Basic theory

R Miranda, RR Rafikov - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational coupling between young planets and their parent disks is often explored using
numerical simulations, which typically treat the disk thermodynamics in a highly simplified …

Eccentricity evolution for planets in gaseous disks

P Goldreich, R Sari - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
At least several percent of solar-type stars possess giant planets. Surprisingly, most move on
orbits of substantial eccentricity. We investigate the hypothesis that interactions between a …

Low-mass planet migration in three-dimensional wind-driven inviscid discs: a negative corotation torque

CP McNally, RP Nelson… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We present simulations of low-mass planet–disc interactions in inviscid three-dimensional
discs. We show that a wind-driven laminar accretion flow through the surface layers of the …

Inclined massive planets in a protoplanetary disc: gap opening, disc breaking, and observational signatures

Z Zhu - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We carry out 3D hydrodynamical simulations to study planet–disc interactions for inclined
high-mass planets, focusing on the disc's secular evolution induced by the planet. We find …

The Three-dimensional Flow Field around Planets on Eccentric Orbits

A Bailey, JM Stone, J Fung - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the properties of the hydrodynamic flow around eccentric protoplanets and
compare them with the often assumed case of a circular orbit. To this end, we perform a set …
