Circumstellar discs in binary systems
Krisada Rawiraswattana, David Hubber and Simon Goodwin

Abstract

We perform SPH simulations of the evolution of circumstellar discs in binary systems. We investigate how discs are perturbed by low-mass companions, either in the plane of the disc or inclined to it. We examine how these perturbations might affect both disc fragmentation and core accretion.
