Circumplanetary Disks are Rare Around Planets at Large Orbital Radii: A Parameter Survey of Flow Morphology Around Giant Planets

Circumplanetary Disks are Rare Around Planets at Large Orbital Radii: A Parameter Survey of Flow Morphology Around Giant Planets

We investigate how the formation and structure of circumplanetary disks (CPDs) vary with planet mass and protoplanetary disk aspect ratio. Using static mesh refinement and a near-isothermal equation of state, we perform a small parameter survey of hydrodynamic simulations with parameters appropriate...
