چکیده
In this paper, we describe the nonlinear outcome of spiral shocks in protoplan-etary disks. Spiral shocks, for most protoplanetary disk conditions, create a loss of vertical force balance in the post-shock region and result in rapid expansion of the gas perpendicular to the disk midplane. This expansion has characteristics similar to hydraulic-jumps, which occur in incompressible fluids. We present a theory to describe the behavior of these hydraulic/shock-jump hybrids (hs-jumps) and then compare the theory to three-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations. We discuss the fully three-dimensional shock structures that hs-jumps produce and discuss possible consequences of hs-jumps for disk mixing, turbulence, and evolution of solids.

I review current results from searching for galaxies giving rise to damped Lyα absorbers (DLAs) at z < 1. Using 14 confirmed DLA galaxies, I further show that intermediate-redshift galaxies possess large H I envelope out to 24−30 h kpc radius. The photometric and spectral properties of these galaxies confirm that DLA galaxies are drawn from the typical field population, and not from a separate ...
