Animation of onset FU Ori outburst


Displayed is the evolution of the interaction of an accretion disk with the central protostar. The disk undergoes a thermal instability. The calculations are two-dimensional (r-theta) solving the equations of radiation hydrodynamics by using the code (RH2D). Shown is the evolution of the temperature in the disk and star.
