On the convective overstability in protoplanetary discs
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016-01-21)
This paper explores the driving of low-level hydrodynamical activity in protoplanetary-disc dead zones. A small adverse radial entropy gradient, ordinarily stabilized by rotation, excites oscillatory convection (‘convective ...
