Type I Migration in a Non-isothermal Protoplanetary Disk
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate rates of Type I migration of protoplanets in a non-isothermal three-dimensional protoplanetary disk, building upon planet-disk models developed in previous work. We find that including the vertical thickness of the disk results in a decrease in the Type I migration rate by a factor of ∼ 2 from a two-dimensional disk. The vertical temperature variation has only a modest effect on migration rates since the torques at the midplane are weighted heavily both because the density and the perturbing potential are maximized at the midplane. However, temperature perturbations resulting from shadowing and illumination at the disk’s surface can decrease the migration rate by up to another factor of 2 for planets at the gap-opening threshold at distances where viscous heating is minimal. This would help to resolve the timescale mismatch between the standard core-accretion scenario for planet formation and the survival of planets, and could help explain some of the rich diversity of planetary systems already observed.

We performed a series of hydro-dynamic simulations to investigate the orbital migration of a Jovian planet embedded in a proto-stellar disk. In order to take into account of the effect of the disk’s self gravity, we developed and adopted an Antares code which is based on a 2-D Godunov scheme to obtain the exact Reimann solution for isothermal or polytropic gas, with non-reflecting boundary cond...
متن کاملMigration of Protoplanets in Radiative Disks
Context. In isothermal disks the migration of protoplanets is directed inward. For small planetary masses the standard type I migration rates are so fast that this may result in an unrealistic loss of planets into the stars. Aims. We investigate the planet-disk interaction in non-isothermal disks and analyze the magnitude and direction of migration for an extended range of planet masses. Method...
متن کاملPlanetesimal and Protoplanet Dynamics in a Turbulent Protoplanetary Disk: Ideal Unstratified Disks
The dynamics of planetesimals and planetary cores may be strongly influenced by density perturbations due to magnetorotational turbulence in their natal protoplanetary gas disks. Using the local shearing box approximation, we perform numerical simulations of planetesimals moving as massless particles in a turbulent, magnetized, unstratified gas disk. Our fiducial disk model has turbulent accret...
