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 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 کاملInvestigating fragmentation conditions in self - gravitating accretion discs
The issue of fragmentation in self-gravitating gaseous accretion discs has implications both for the formation of stars in discs in the nuclei of active galaxies, and for the formation of gaseous planets or brown dwarfs in circumstellar discs. It is now well established that fragmentation occurs if the disc is cooled on a timescale smaller than the local dynamical timescale, while for longer co...
متن کاملSecular evolution of viscous and self-gravitating circumstellar discs
We add the effect of turbulent viscosity via the α−prescription to models of the self-consistent formation and evolution of protostellar discs. Our models are nonaxisymmetric and carried out using the thin-disc approximation. Self-gravity plays an important role in the early evolution of a disc, and the later evolution is determined by the relative importance of gravitational and viscous torque...
متن کاملTesting the locality of transport in self - gravitating accretion discs - II . The massive disc case
In this paper, we extend our previous analysis (Lodato & Rice 2004) of the transport properties induced by gravitational instabilities in cooling, gaseous accretion discs to the case where the disc mass is comparable to the central object. In order to do so, we have performed global, three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of massive discs. These new simulations show a muc...
