الوصف: Gas giant planets are believed to accrete from their circumplanetary disks (CPDs). The CPDs usually involve accretion through the boundary layer (BL) in the vicinity of planets. Prior studies have concentrated on the BL of non-spinning planets. We investigate the influence of planetary spin on the wave behaviors within the BL. The rotation profile in such BLs would show sharp transition from the rigid rotation to the Keplerian rotation. We examine the angular momentum transport in these BL in terms of linear perturbation analysis. We find that the global inertia-acoustic mode associated with spinning planets would give rise to the inflow of angular momentum and the accretion of gas. In this work, we identify a new kind of global mode, namely the Rossby mode. The Rossby mode can lead to the outflow of angular momentum and the decretion of gas from a spinning planet. The Rossby mode provide a negative feedback that regulates the planetary spin and mass. We compare the growth rate of the two modes as a function of the width of BL, the Mach number and the spin rate of planet. Our results reveal the underlying hydrodynamic mechanism of terminal spins and asymptotic mass of the giant planets.
