Astrophysics

Yuhiko Aoyama is a postdoctoral researcher at Tsinghua University in Beijing in the group of Xuening Bai.

His work is focusing on the gas accretion onto the protoplanet in the protoplanetary disk. During his stay at CAS he will study the ionization structure of the circum-planetary gaseous disk and its magneto-hydrodynamics. This work can shed light on the formation of gas giants such as Jupiter and their satellite formation.

Yuhiko Aoyama is member of the CAS Research Group "The Ionisation Structure of Planet Forming Discs and their Atmospheres" of Prof. Dr. Barbara Ercolano.
