MINDS. JWST/MIRI Reveals a Dynamic Gas-rich Inner Disk inside the Cavity of SY Cha

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
SY Cha is a T Tauri star surrounded by a protoplanetary disk with a large cavity seen in the millimeter continuum but has the spectral energy distribution of a full disk.

A Method to Constrain the Size of the Protosolar Nebula

open access: yes, 2012
Observations indicate that the gaseous circumstellar disks around young stars vary significantly in size, ranging from tens to thousands of AU. Models of planet formation depend critically upon the properties of these primordial disks, yet in general it ...

The Effect of Stellar Evolution on Dispersal of Protoplanetary Disks: Disk Fraction in Star-forming Regions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the effect of stellar evolution on the dispersal of protoplanetary disks by performing one-dimensional simulations of long-term disk evolution.

Our astrochemical heritage

open access: yes, 2012
Our Sun and planetary system were born about 4.5 billion years ago. How did this happen and what is our heritage from these early times? This review tries to address these questions from an astrochemical point of view.

The diversification and dissipation of protoplanetary disks

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Protoplanetary disk evolution exhibits trends with stellar mass, but also diversity of structure, and lifetime, with implications for planet formation and demographics. We show how varied outcomes can result from evolving structures in the inner disk that attenuate stellar soft X-rays that otherwise drive photoevaporation in the outer disk.

Gravitational Instability in Protoplanetary Disk with Cooling: 2D Global Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Self-gravity is important in protoplanetary disks for planet formation through gravitational instability (GI). We study the cooling effect on GI in a thin two-dimensional protoplanetary disk.

Debris Disks: Probing Planet Formation

open access: yes, 2018
Debris disks are the dust disks found around ~20% of nearby main sequence stars in far-IR surveys. They can be considered as descendants of protoplanetary disks or components of planetary systems, providing valuable information on circumstellar disk ...

The Evolution of the Water Distribution in a Viscous Protoplanetary Disk

open access: yes, 2005
(Abridged) Astronomical observations have shown that protoplanetary disks are dynamic objects through which mass is transported and accreted by the central star.

Unveiling the Chemical Complexity and C/O Ratio of the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk: Constraints from Multiline ALMA Observations of Organics, Nitriles, and Sulfur-bearing and Deuterated Molecules

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The physical and chemical conditions within a protoplanetary disk play a crucial role in determining its chemical composition, which is subsequently inherited by any forming planets. To probe these conditions, high-resolution molecular line observations,
