2. Disks can be unstable globally:
Toomre’s criterion Q ≡ kc/(pGS) < 1
(axisymmetric perturbations)
k = epicyclic frequency

3. Disks can be unstable globally:
AB Aur
k = epicyclic frequency
k2 = r-3 d/dr[(r2W)2]
In a Keplerian disk,
where W2 = GM/r3 ,

9. Local resonances can

Gas accretion can drive global structures in the disk.

10. Local resonances can
propagate globally!
Sufficiently large planets can create gaps, but
gas accretion does continue. Can these structures
assist in the formation of additional Jovian planets?

13. If you do a LINEAR analysis in a LAMINAR disk,
three types of migration mechanisms emerge:
Type I – “Low mass” cores w/o an induced gap.
Type II – “High mass” core with an induced gap.
Type III – Runaway migration in high mass disks
(really needs a non-linear analysis)
Type I:

is needed to avoid

17. Type II: When a gap opens, the force balance changes. The growing
planet is now tied to
the disk transport
timescale(s). For a
laminar disk:

Recall Type I migration has
Ward, Icarus 126, 261(1997).

19. Type II versus Type I:
Type II is slower, but
in a linear analysis the
migration rate can still
be very fast!
Type III:
With a massive disk,
“runaway migration”
can occur:
Very sensitive to the
mass surface density
profile (can go out!).

20. What can we think about that might slow down migration rates?
Idea #1: Turbulent disks & stochastic migration.

21. Idea #2: Do not use linearity assumptions!
Non-linearities in the gas flow around an accreting protoplanet should scale as:
Where q is the secondary to primary mass ratio and h=H/r, the disk scale height/radius. In this scenario, deviations from linearity should follow:
Masset, D’Angelo & Kley (2006, ApJ, in press)

22. 2-D and 3-D Disk simulations reveal significant non-linearity:
Tests with disk viscosity.
This can dramatically alter the outcome of migration. With sufficiently shallow mass surface density profiles the direction of migration can even be changed. (With a sufficiently shallow profile the migration is outward.)

23. Another interesting facet: Resonant systems migrate more slowly!
From Armitage. Why? Couple of reasons, including wider gap opening and
exchange of momentum between the interacting planets & disk.

24. Comparison of migration predictions to observables?
The plot at left is a prediction that uses a simple disk evolutionary model with gas dissipation (more next time) and Type I+Type II migration.
The histogram data at right are from the extrasolar planet sample in Fischer & Valenti (2005) that is cut at 30 m/s for completeness. It also ignores the “hot Jupiter pile up.” The green line is the simple disk evolution model+migration.
