The Warped Circumstellar Disk of HD 100546

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
We propose that the two armed spiral features seen in visible Hubble Space Telescope images of scattered light in HD100546's circumstellar disk are caused by the illumination of a warped outer disk. A tilt of 6-15 degrees from the symmetry plane can cause the observed surface brightness variations providing the disk is very twisted (highly warped) at ...

Multiwavelength Dust Characterization of the HL Tau Disk and Implications for Planet Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive analysis of the HL Tau dust disk by modeling its intensity profiles across six wavelengths (0.45–7.9 mm) with a resolution of 0 $\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime\prime} }$ 05 (∼7 au). Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach,

The 12CO gas structures of protoplanetary disks in the Upper Scorpius region

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present measurements of key protoplanetary disk properties inferred from parametric models of ALMA 12CO spectral line visibilities. We derived gas-disk radii, integrated fluxes, optically thick emission layers, and brightness temperature profiles for ...

CIRCUMSTELLAR DISKS AROUND BINARY STARS IN TAURUS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We have conducted a survey of 17 wide (> 100 AU) young binary systems in Taurus with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) at two wavelengths. The observations were designed to measure the masses of circumstellar disks in these systems as an aid to understanding the role of multiplicity in star and planet formation.

Velocity Structure of Circumstellar Environment around Class 0/I Protostars: Uncertainty in the Protostellar Mass Estimation Using Circumstellar Velocities

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent high-resolution observations have enabled detailed investigations of the circumstellar environments around Class 0/I protostars. Several studies have reported that the infall velocity of the envelope is a few times smaller than the freefall ...

Probing Dust and Gas Properties Using Ringed Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
How rapidly a planet grows in mass and how far it may park from the host star depend sensitively on two nondimensional parameters: Stokes number St and turbulent α .
