🔭🧪🎢 PhD Project focus: Understanding protoplanetary disc evolution
We're advertising this project with Prof Richard Alexander, making simulations of accretion of planet-forming discs onto their star.
For details of all our PhD projects look here: le.ac.uk/study/resear... 🔭🧪🎢

New paper, led by @physicsuol.bsky.social PhD student @simintong.bsky.social. Simin looked at the rings we see in planet-forming discs, and combined new models with multi-wavelength ALMA observations to understand the underlying physical properties of the dust and gas. 🔭

@simintong.bsky.social is giving a talk (remotely) on our new paper (👇🏻) at the "Pebbles in Planet Formation" conference in Tokyo this week.
[Simin's talk is on Thursday morning; for those attending online, it's overnight Wed/Thu in Europe, or Wed evening in the US.] 🔭

New paper, by Leicester PhD student @simintong.bsky.social. Simin presents a new set of models which show that compact protoplanetary discs are a natural consequence of so-called ``dead zones'': regions where disc turbulence is low. 🔭

Compact protoplanetary discs can be produced by dead zones
Radially compact protoplanetary discs (<=50 au) are ubiquitous in nearby star-forming regions. Multiple mechanisms have been invoked to interpret various compact discs. In this paper, we propose that ...
