Sentences with phrase «disk midplane»

For a counterintuitive relative flow direction — parallel to the disk midplane — we find that the structures generated by these distortions can very roughly approximate the HD 61005 morphology.

Alternatively, turbulence or charging effects might lead to a reservoir of small grains at the surface layer that is not affected by the dust growth and fragmentation cycle dominating the dense disk midplane.

Interestingly, it shows a prominent equatorial dark lane sandwiched between two brighter features, due to relatively low temperature and high optical depth near the disk midplane.

Not exact matches

It was injected 9 astronomical units from the central prostar and is now in the disk's midplane.

I will present new numerical models that treat dust coagulation / fragmentation, dust dynamics, simple gas - grain chemistry, and vapor diffusion simultaneously, and explore the connection between the water vapor in the disk atmosphere and the size - distribution and ice - to - rock ratios of the dust grains growing in the midplane.

These grains weren't seen, which probably means that they have grown and sunk to the midplane of the disk where they can aggregate into water - rich planets.
