A triple-star system with a misaligned and warped circumstellar disk shaped by disk tearing.

Young stars are surrounded by a circumstellar disk of gas and dust, within which planet formation can occur. Gravitational forces in multiple star systems can disrupt the disk. Theoretical models predict that if the disk is misaligned with the orbital plane of the stars, the disk should warp and break into precessing rings, a phenomenon known as disk tearing.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexander Kreplin"

  • - Alexander Kreplin's research primarily focuses on the dynamics of circumstellar disks in multiple star systems, particularly how gravitational interactions can influence disk behavior during planet formation.
  • - His 2020 paper discusses the phenomenon of disk tearing, where a misaligned circumstellar disk can warp and break into precessing rings due to gravitational forces, shedding light on the complexities of disk evolution.
  • - This work contributes to our understanding of the environmental conditions necessary for planet formation around young stars in multiple star systems, highlighting the implications of disk dynamics on the development of planetary systems.
