Light Echoes of Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalLight echoes offer a means of studying protoplanetary disks, including their geometry and composition, even when they are not spatially resolved. We present a test of this approach applied specifically to optically thick, geometrically flared disks ...

Recurrent planetesimal formation in an outer part of the early solar system [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe formation of planets in our solar system encompassed various stages of accretion of planetesimals that formed in the protoplanetary disk within the first few million years at different distances to the sun.

Finding Substructures in Protostellar Disks in Ophiuchus
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 High-resolution, millimeter observations of disks at the protoplanetary stage reveal substructures such as gaps, rings, arcs, spirals, and cavities. While many protoplanetary disks host such substructures, only a few at the younger protostellar stage ...

Open Astronomy, 2021 Kaba meteorite as a reference material (one of a least metamorphosed and most primitive carbonaceous chondrites fell on Earth) was chosen for this study providing an adequate background for study of the protoplanetary disk or even the crystallization ...

PPDONet: Deep Operator Networks for Fast Prediction of Steady-state Solutions in Disk–Planet Systems
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We develop a tool, which we name Protoplanetary Disk Operator Network (PPDONet), that can predict the solution of disk–planet interactions in protoplanetary disks in real time.

From Pebbles and Planetesimals to Planets and Dust: the Protoplanetary Disk--Debris Disk Connection [PDF]
, 2021 The similar orbital distances and detection rates of debris disks and the prominent rings observed in protoplanetary disks suggest a potential connection between these structures. We explore this connection with new calculations that follow the evolution of rings of pebbles and planetesimals as they grow into planets and generate dusty debris ...

Demographics of Protoplanetary Disks: A Simulated Population of Edge-on Systems
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The structure of protoplanetary disks plays an essential role in planet formation. A disk that is highly inclined, or “edge-on,” is of particular interest since its geometry provides a unique opportunity to study the disk’s vertical structure and radial ...

A numerical approach to model chemistry of complex organic molecules in a protoplanetary disk
Open Astronomy, 2022 Multiphase astrochemical modeling presents a numerical challenge especially for the simulation of objects with the wide range of physical parameters such as protoplanetary disks.

Protoplanetary disk lifetimes vs stellar mass and possible implications for giant planet populations [PDF]
A&A 576, A52 (2015), 2015 We study the dependence of protoplanetary disk evolution on stellar mass using a large sample of young stellar objects in nearby young star-forming regions. We update the protoplanetary disk fractions presented in our recent work (paper I of this series) derived for 22 nearby (< 500 pc) associations between 1 and 100 Myr.

Cosmic-ray ionization rate in protoplanetary disks with sheared magnetic fields [PDF]
, 2022 We investigate the effects of magnetic field configurations on the ionization rate by cosmic rays in protoplanetary disks. First, we consider cosmic-ray propagation from the interstellar medium (ISM) to the protoplanetary disks and showed that the cosmic-ray density around the disk should be 2 times lower than the ISM value.
