Self-gravitating accretion discs
— I review recent progresses in the dynamics and the evolution of self-gravitating accretion discs. Accretion discs are a fundamental component of several astrophysical systems on very diverse scales, and can be found around supermassive black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), and also in our Galaxy around stellar mass compact objects and around young stars. Notwithstanding the specific di...
متن کاملVortices in self-gravitating gaseous discs
Vortices have recently received much attention in the research of planet formation, as they are believed to play a role in the formation of km-sized planetesimals by collecting dust particles in their centres. However, vortex dynamics is commonly studied in nonself-gravitating discs. The main goal here is to examine the effects of disc self-gravity on vortex dynamics. For this purpose, we emplo...
متن کاملAstrometric signatures of self-gravitating protoplanetary discs
We use high resolution numerical simulations to study whether gravitational instabilities within circumstellar discs can produce astrometrically detectable motion of the central star. For discs with masses of Mdisc = 0.1 M∗, which are permanantly stable against fragmentation, we find that the magnitude of the astrometric signal depends upon the efficiency of disc cooling. Short cooling times pr...
متن کاملTesting the locality of transport in self-gravitating accretion discs
In this paper we examine the issue of characterising the transport associated with gravitational instabilities in relatively cold discs, discussing in particular the conditions under which it can be described within a local, viscous framework. We present the results of global, three-dimensional, SPH simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs, in which the disc is cooled using a simple para...
متن کاملCollision velocity of dust grains in self-gravitating protoplanetary discs
We have conducted the first comprehensive numerical investigation of the relative velocity distribution of dust particles in self-gravitating protoplanetary discs with a view to assessing the viability of planetesimal formation via direct collapse in such environments. The viability depends crucially on the large sizes that are preferentially collected in pressure maxima produced by transient s...
