Deriving Median Disk Lifetimes from Disk Lifetime Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Observations show that individual protoplanetary disk lifetimes vary from <1 Myr to ≫20 Myr. The lifetime distribution is currently unknown. For the example of a Gaussian lifetime, I suggest simple method for deducing such distribution. median inferred with this also shown.

Deriving the Quasar Luminosity Function from Accretion Disk Instabilities
We have derived the quasar luminosity function assuming that the quasar activity is driven by a thermal-viscous unstable accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. The instabilities produce large amplitude, long-term variability of a single source. We take a light curve of a single source and calculate the luminosity function, from the function of time it spends at each luminosity. Convol...
متن کاملTwo Disk Components from a Gas Rich Disk-Disk Merger
We employ N-body, smoothed particle hydrodynamical simulations, including detailed treatment of chemical enrichment, to follow a gas-rich merger which results in a galaxy with disk morphology. We trace the kinematic, structural, and chemical properties of stars formed before, during, and after the merger. We show that such a merger produces two exponential disk components, with the older, hotte...
متن کاملAccretion Disks around Young Stars: Lifetimes, Disk Locking and Variability
We report the findings of a comprehensive study of disk accretion and related phenomena in four of the nearest young stellar associations spanning 6-30 million years in age, an epoch that may coincide with the late stages of planet formation. We have obtained ∼650 multi-epoch high-resolution optical spectra of 100 lowmass stars that are likely members of the η Chamaeleontis (∼6 Myr), TW Hydrae ...
متن کاملObservational Constraints on Dust Disk Lifetimes: Implications for Planet Formation
Thus far our impressions regarding the evolutionary time scales for young circumstellar disks have been based on small number statistics. Over the past decade, however, in addition to precision study of individual star/disk systems, substantial observational effort has been invested in obtaining less detailed data on large numbers of objects in young star clusters. This has resulted in a pletho...
متن کاملExtending SSD Lifetimes with Disk-Based Write Caches
We present Griffin, a hybrid storage device that uses a hard disk drive (HDD) as a write cache for a Solid State Device (SSD). Griffin is motivated by two observations: First, HDDs can match the sequential write bandwidth of mid-range SSDs. Second, both server and desktop workloads contain a significant fraction of block overwrites. By maintaining a log-structured HDD cache and migrating cached...
