Molecular Gas Tracers in Young and Old Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Molecular emission is used to investigate both the physical and chemical properties of protoplanetary disks. Therefore, to derive disk properties accurately, we need a thorough understanding of the behavior of the molecular probes upon which we rely ...

Physical Processes in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This review introduces physical processes in protoplanetary disks relevant to accretion and the initial stages of planet formation. After a brief overview of the observational context, I introduce the elementary theory of disk structure and evolution, review the gas-phase physics of angular momentum transport through turbulence and disk winds, and ...

Magnetic fields in protoplanetary disks

open access: yes, 2007
Magnetic fields likely play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of protoplanetary discs. They have the potential to efficiently transport angular momentum by MHD turbulence or via the magnetocentrifugal acceleration of outflows from the disk surface,

The Morphologies and Lifetimes of Transitional Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
I describe new constraints on the lifetimes and morphologies of transitional protoplanetary disks from observations of 1--10 Myr old stars with the \textit{Spitzer Space Telescope}. New Spitzer results clearly show evidence for two kinds of transitional disks and thus two main disk evolutionary pathways: disks which form an inner hole/gap and clear ...

Constraints on the Gas-phase C/O Ratio of DR Tau's Outer Disk from CS, SO, and C2H Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Millimeter wavelength observations of Class II protoplanetary disks often display strong emission from hydrocarbons and high CS/SO values, providing evidence that the gas-phase C/O ratio commonly exceeds 1 in their outer regions.
