These discs are modelled using a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code with radiative transfer (Whitehouse, Bate & Monaghan 2005) and we investigate the ability of these discs to maintain a state of thermal equilibrium with their boundaries as an indication of their likelihood to fragment.To be published in American Institute of Physics; Conference proceedings - Exoplanets and Disks: Their Formation and Diversity; 2 pages, 2 figuresEarth and Planetary Astrophysicstext
