The energetics of star-disc encounters and disc density profiles
This thesis investigates the response of a circumstellar accretion disc to the fly-by of a perturbing mass on a parabolic orbit, both with and without the presence of dissipation. Observed protostellar number densities and velocity dispersions imply that collisions between protostellar systems are l...
