3D SPH simulation of a self-gravitating disc using Radiative transfer

3D SPH simulation of a self-gravitating disc modelled using Radiative transfer and taking into account the effects of stellar irradiation on the surface of the disc. The disc fragments after more than 10 outer rotation periods due to the lower opacity, which may be the case if grain growth has occurred in the disc, or if the disc is metal-poor Author: Farzana Meru ~meru/
