Neutral carbon in the protoplanetary nebulae CRL 618 and CRL 2688 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1997
The 609u 3P1 -> 3P0 line of neutral atomic carbon has been detected in the protoplanetary nebulae CRL 618 and CRL 2688. CI appears to be about 7% as abundant as CO in CRL 2688, and 70% as abundant as CO in CRL 618. CI emission arises primarily from the slow component of the wind from these objects.

A Simplified Model for an Evolving Protoplanetary Nebula [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal, 2003
The dynamical evolution of the protoplanetary nebula is investigated using analytical solutions of the surface density transport equations. Constant and beta viscosity turbulence models are compared with a functional analytical model and the well-known alpha viscosity formulation.

CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF TURBULENT PROTOPLANETARY DISKS AND THE SOLAR NEBULA [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011
This is the second paper in a series where we study the influence of transport processes on the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks. Our analysis is based on a flared alpha-model of the DM Tau system, coupled to a large gas-grain chemical network.

Destruction of protoplanetary discs in the Orion Nebula Cluster [PDF]

open access: greenMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001
We use numerical N-body simulations of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) to investigate the destruction of protoplanetary disks by close stellar encounters and UV radiation from massive stars. The simulations model a cluster of 4000 stars, and we consider separately cases in which the disks have fixed radii of 100 AU and 10 AU.

On the Persistence of Small Regions of Vorticity in the Protoplanetary Nebula [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal, 2000
The fate of small regions of vorticity in a barotropic model of the protoplanetary nebula is investigated over thousands of years using a finite difference model. It is found that the coherence time for a small island of vorticity depends on its size, strength, orientation, and radial location in the nebula. Anticyclonic vorticity retains its coherence

Polarimetry of the protoplanetary nebula AFGL 2688 [PDF]

open access: greenAstronomy Reports, 2004
Our spectroscopic (with resolution R=75 000) and spectropolarimetric (R=15 000) observations with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory have enabled us to distinguish photospheric and circumstellar features in the optical spectrum of the bipolar protoplanetary nebula AFGL 2688 for the first time.

Dynamics and Growth of Dust Grains in the Protoplanetary Nebula [PDF]

open access: bronzePublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002
In the standard scenario of planet formation, the planetesimals grow from primordial dust grains of interstellar origin embedded in a gas disk, the so-called protoplanetary nebula. Large-scale gaseous structures, such as spiral waves and vortices, are likely to survive for a large number of rotation periods and can strongly influence the dynamics and ...

Condensation Front Migration in a Protoplanetary Nebula [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal, 2005
Condensation front dynamics are investigated in the mid-solar nebula region. A quasi-steady model of the evolving nebula is combined with equilibrium vapor pressure curves to determine evolutionary condensation fronts for selected species. These fronts are found to migrate inwards from the far-nebula to final positions during a period of 10(exp 7 ...
