The Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks around Millisecond Pulsars: the Psr 1257 +12 System
We model the evolution of protoplanetary disks surrounding millisecond pulsars, using PSR 1257+12 as a test case. Initial conditions were chosen to correspond to initial angular momenta expected for supernova-fallback disks and disks formed from the tidal disruption of a companion star. Models were run under two models for the viscous evolution of disks: fully viscous and layered accretion disk...
متن کاملThe Chemical Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks
In this review we re-evaluate our observational and theoretical understanding of the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks. We discuss how improved observational capabilities have enabled the detection of numerous molecules exposing an active disk chemistry that appears to be in disequilibrium. We outline the primary facets of static and dynamical theoretical chemical models. Such models h...
متن کاملDynamical Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks
This paper reviews the theory of protostellar debris disks. After a brief introduction to accretion disk physics, I describe coagulation models of planet formation in the outer regions of planetesimal disks. Coagulation models for the Kuiper Belt produce Pluto-sized objects on timescales of 10–40 Myr. These models yield size distributions which agree with observations of Kuiper Belt objects wit...
متن کاملImplications of the PSR 1257+12 Planetary System for Isolated Millisecond Pulsars
The first extrasolar planets were discovered in 1992 around the millisecond pulsar PSR 1257+12. We show that recent developments in the study of accretion onto magnetized stars, plus the existence of the innermost, moon-sized planet in the PSR 1257+12 system, suggest that the pulsar was born with approximately its current rotation frequency and magnetic moment. If so, this has important implica...
متن کاملFragmentation of protoplanetary disks around M-dwarfs
We investigate the conditions required for planet formation via gravitational instability (GI) and protoplanetary disk (PPD) fragmentation around M-dwarfs. Using a suite of 64 SPH simulations with 106 particles, the parameter space of disk mass, temperature, and radius is explored, bracketing reasonable values based on theory and observation. Our model consists of an equilibrium, gaseous, and l...
