Zombie Vortex Instability. I. a Purely Hydrodynamic Instability to Resurrect the Dead Zones of Protoplanetary Disks
There is considerable interest in hydrodynamic instabilities in dead zones of protoplanetary disks as a mechanism for driving angular momentum transport and as a source of particle-trapping vortices to mix chondrules and incubate planetesimal formation. We present simulations with a pseudo-spectral anelastic code and with the compressible code Athena, showing that stably stratified flows in a s...

متن کاملGravitational instability in binary protoplanetary disks
We review the models and results of simulations of self-gravitating, gaseous protoplanetary disks in binary star systems. These models have been calculated by three different groups with three different computational methods, two particle-based and one grid-based. We show that interactions with the companion star can affect the temperature distribution and structural evolution of disks, and dis...
متن کاملSelf-Sustained Ionization and Vanishing Dead Zones in Protoplanetary Disks
We analyse the ionization state of the magnetohydrodynamically turbulent protoplanetary disks and propose a new mechanism of sustaining ionization. First, we show that in the quasi-steady state of turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability in a typical protoplanetary disk with dust grains the amount of energy dissipation should be sufficient for providing the ionization energy that is r...
متن کاملAn hydrodynamic shear instability in stratified disks
We discuss the possibility that astrophysical accretion disks are dynamically unstable to nonaxisymmetric disturbances with characteristic scales much smaller than the vertical scale height. The instability is studied using three methods: one based on the energy integral, which allows the determination of a sufficient condition of stability, one using a WKB approach, which allows the determinat...
