Star–disc alignment in the protoplanetary discs: SPH simulation of the collapse of turbulent molecular cloud cores

Abstract: We perform a series of three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations to study the evolution of the angle between the protostellar spin and the protoplanetary disk rotation axes (the star-disk angle ψ sd ) in turbulent molecular cloud cores. While ψ sd at the protostar formation epoch exhibits broad distribution up to ∼ 130 • , ψ sd decreases ( 20 • ) in a timescale of ∼ 10 4 yr. This timescale of the star-disk alignment, t alignment , corresponds basically to the mass doubling time of the… Show more

“…1. a misalignment between the protoplanetary disk due to inhomogeneities in the molecular cloud (Bate et al 2010;Fielding et al 2015;Takaishi et al 2020), magnetic interactions (Lai et al 2011), or a companion star (Batygin 2012;Spalding & Batygin 2015;Zanazzi & Lai 2018); 2. ongoing nodal precession driven by a stellar companion or wide-orbiting giant planet on a highly inclined orbit (Anderson & Lai 2018); 3. a resonance between the nodal precession rates of an inner planet and an outer planet that occurs during the dissipation of the protoplanetary disk (Petrovich et al 2020); and 4. random tumbling of the spin-axis orientation of the photosphere due to stochastic internal gravity waves (Rogers et al 2012).…”

“…Turbulence (21) and disk-torquing (22) can lead to misaligned protoplanetary disks. However retrograde orbits, as observed for K2-290A, are difficult to achieve via turbulence and late infall of material will lead to a further reduction of any misalignment (23).…”
