The Fragmentation Criteria in Local Vertically Stratified Self-gravitating Disk Simulations

Massive circumstellar disks are prone to gravitational instabilities, which trigger the formation of spiral arms that can fragment into bound clumps under the right conditions. Two-dimensional simulations of self-gravitating disks are useful starting points for studying fragmentation because they al...
