On the conditions for warping and breaking protoplanetary discs - Simulations L-S
No full textRecent observations demonstrate that misalignments and other out-of-plane structures are common in protoplanetary discs. Many of these have been linked to a central host binary with an orbit that is inclined with respect to the disc. We present simulations of misaligned circumbinary discs with a range of parameters to gain a better understanding of the link between those parameters and the disc morphology in the wave-like regime of warp propagation that is appropriate to protoplanetary discs. The simulations confirm that disc tearing is possible in protoplanetary discs as long as the mass ratio, μ, and disc-binary inclination angle, i, are not too small. For the simulations presented here this corresponds to μ>0.1 and i≳40∘. For highly eccentric binaries, tearing can occur for discs with smaller misalignment. Existing theoretical predictions provide an estimate of the radial extent of the disc in which we can expect breaking to occur. However, there does not seem to be a simple relationship between the disc properties and the radius within the circumbinary disc at which the breaks appear, and furthermore the radius at which the disc breaks can change as a function of time in each case. We discuss the implications of our results for interpreting observations and suggest some considerations for modelling misaligned discs in the future. The dataset contains files for generating the models presented in the upcoming publication Alison K. Young, Struan Stevenson, C.J. Nixon, Ken Riceand (in submission) "On the conditions for warping and breaking protoplanetary discs". Files provided here relate to simulations L-S.

The Tower Block UK image archive is a searchable database of around 4,000 images of every multi-storey social housing development built in the UK. The photographs were largely taken in the 1980s by Miles Glendinning and are made available here for public use. As many of the blocks documented and photographed have since been demolished, the archive functions in part as a repository of information on an important aspect of UK heritage that is now vanishing. The archive itself catalogues multi-storey blocks as part of the developments within which they were initially commissioned and built. It gives details of notable dates, such as when local authorities approved the developments and when construction began or finished. Alongside this, the archive provides information on the local authorities, architects, and other agents involved in the processes of commissioning, designing, and constructing mass social housing. While the most historically 'accurate' identification labels in the database are the original overall development or project names, the archive also contains details of the individual blocks built
