The Dispersal of Planet-forming discs: Theory confronts Observations

open access: yes, 2017
Discs of gas and dust around Myr-old stars are a by-product of the star formation process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal directly impact what type of planets can form and affect the final architecture ...

Radial transport and nebular thermal processing of millimeter‐sized solids in the Solar protoplanetary disk inferred from Cr‐Ti‐O isotope systematics of chondrules

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 12, Page 3282-3304, December 2024.
Abstract Understanding the material transport and mixing processes in the Solar protoplanetary disk provides important constraints on the origin of chemical and isotopic diversities of our planets. The limited extent of radial transport and mixing between the inner and outer Solar System has been suggested based on a fundamental isotopic dichotomy ...

Carbon In Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yes, 2018
The carbon and oxygen content of the solids in protoplanetary disks plays an important role in defining the composition of giant planet atmospheres. I will discuss what we know about the distribution of carbonaceous material in the solar system and discuss potential processes influencing its radial distribution. I will also present modeling results for

Chemistry of Complex Organic Molecules in the V883 Ori Disk Revealed by ALMA Band 3 Observations

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Complex organic molecules (COMs) in protoplanetary disks are key to understanding the origin of volatiles in comets in our solar system, yet the chemistry of COMs in protoplanetary disks remains poorly understood.

Toward an efficient second‐order method for computing the surface gravitational potential on spherical‐polar meshes

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 8, October 2024.
Abstract Astrophysical accretion discs that carry a significant mass compared with their central object are subject to the effect of self‐gravity. In the context of circumstellar discs, this can, for instance, cause fragmentation of the disc gas, and—under suitable conditions—lead to the direct formation of gas‐giant planets.

JWST Imaging of Edge-on Protoplanetary Disks. I. Fully Vertically Mixed 10 μm Grains in the Outer Regions of a 1000 au Disk

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Scattered light imaging of protoplanetary disks provides key insights on the geometry and dust properties in the disk surface. Here, we present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) 2–21 μ m images of a 1000 au radius edge-on protoplanetary disk surrounding ...

A mid-IR interferometric survey with MIDI/VLTI: resolving the second-generation protoplanetary disks around post-AGB binaries

open access: yes, 2016
We present a mid-IR interferometric survey of the circumstellar environment of a specific class of post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) binaries. For this class the presence of a compact dusty disk has been postulated on the basis of various spatially

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.

Ringed Structures of the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk Revealed by ALMA.

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2016
We present Atacama Large Millimeter and Submillimeter Array observations of the protoplanetary disk around the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 that trace the spatial distribution of millimeter-sized particles and cold molecular gas on spatial scales as small as

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.
