Circumbinary accretion: From binary stars to massive binary black holes
We review recent works on the dynamics of circumbinary accretion, including time variability,
angular momentum transfer between the disk and the binary, and the secular evolution of …

Gravitational instabilities in circumstellar disks
Star and planet formation are the complex outcomes of gravitational collapse and angular
momentum transport mediated by protostellar and protoplanetary disks. In this review, we …

Hydrodynamics of circumbinary accretion: angular momentum transfer and binary orbital evolution
We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamical simulations of circumbinary accretion using the
moving-mesh code AREPO. We self-consistently compute the accretion flow over a wide …

Dynamics of protoplanetary disks
PJ Armitage - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Protoplanetary disks are quasi-steady structures whose evolution and dispersal determine
the environment for planet formation. I review the theory of protoplanetary disk evolution and …
