Vortex-Induced Rings and Gaps within Protoplanetary Disks

Kavli Affiliate: Ruobing Dong | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyi Ma, Pinghui Huang, Cong Yu, Ruobing Dong, | Summary: Observations of protoplanetary disks have revealed the presence of both crescent-shaped and ring-like structures in dust continuum emission. These crescents are thought to arise from dust-trapping vortices generated by the Rossby Wave Instability (RWI), which induces density […]

Real-Time Simulation of Asymmetry Generation in Fermion-Bubble Collisions

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Ying-Ying Li, Tong Ou, Hersh Singh, | Summary: We perform real-time simulation of fermion-bubble scattering during a first order phase transition by which the fermions become massive. This out-of-equilibrium dynamics can generate a CP asymmetry, which is a crucial ingredient for baryon asymmetry generation in […]
