Young Stars and Planets Near the Sun: Explosive Phenomena from Falling Evaporating Bodies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 January 2016
Abstract
Impacts of falling evaporating bodies (FEBs) with stars and planets at velocities V ≳ 10 − 20 km/s will be accompanied, due to aerodynamic effects such as crushing and transversal expansion of the crushed mass, by the FEB's “explosion” and the generation of a strong “blast” wave, resulting in FEB-generated explosive/flare phenomena. Multiwavelength monitoring of nearby young stars (and exoplanets) with dense protoplanetary disks rich in FEB's is hence of interest for identifying such FEB-related mechanisms possibly underlying their variability.
