Local models of astrophysical discs
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-12-01)
Local models of gaseous accretion discs have been successfully employed for decades to describe an assortment of small-scale phenomena, from instabilities and turbulence, to dust dynamics and planet formation. For the most ...
Dynamical tides in exoplanetary systems containing hot Jupiters: Confronting theory and observations
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-09-11)
We study the effect of dynamical tides associated with the excitation of gravity waves in an interior radiative region of the central star on orbital evolution in observed systems containing hot Jupiters. We consider ...
