Ionization and heating by X-rays and cosmic rays*
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 High-energy radiation from the central T Tauri and protostars plays an important role in shaping protoplanetary disks and influences their evolution. Such radiation, in particular X-rays and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, is predominantly generated

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Thanks to “dust-to-planet” simulations (DTPSs), which treat the collisional evolution directly from dust to giant-planet cores in a protoplanetary disk, we showed that giant-planet cores are formed in ≲10 au in several 10 ^5 yr, because porous pebbles ...

Structured Distributions of Gas and Solids in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Recent spatially-resolved observations of protoplanetary disks revealed a plethora of substructures, including concentric rings and gaps, inner cavities, misalignments, spiral arms, and azimuthal asymmetries. This is the major breakthrough in studies of protoplanetary disks since Protostars and Planets VI and is reshaping the field of planet formation.

From Birth to Death of Protoplanetary Disks: Modeling Their Formation, Evolution, and Dispersal [PDF]
Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 461 (2016) 2257, 2016 Formation, evolution, and dispersal processes of protoplanetary disks are investigated and the disk lifetime is estimated. Gravitational collapse of a pre-stellar core forms both a central star and a protoplanetary disk. The central star grows by accretion from the disk, and irradiation by the central star heats up the disk and generates thermal wind ...

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 The mechanism of protoplanetary system formation as a result of a merge of binary star consisting of the low mass (0.5-1M⊙) pre-MS stars is considered. During the merging the more massive component is destroyed. The substance of the destroyed component

Kinematic Evidence of an Embedded Protoplanet in HD 142666 Identified by Machine Learning
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Observations of protoplanetary disks have shown that forming exoplanets leave characteristic imprints on the gas and dust of the disk. In the gas, these forming exoplanets cause deviations from Keplerian motion, which can be detected through molecular ...

Gas-phase CO in protoplanetary disks: a challenge for turbulent mixing [PDF]
Astrophys.J.647:L57-L60,2006, 2006 This is the first paper in a series where we study the influence of turbulent diffusion and advective transport on the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks, using a 2D flared disk model and a 2D mixing gas-grain chemical code with surface reactions.

Three-dimensional SPH Simulations of FU Orionis Star Flares in the Clumpy Accretion Model
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 One of the early hypotheses about the origin of FU Orionis star (FUORs) outbursts explains them based on the fall of gas clumps from the remnants of protostellar clouds onto protoplanetary disks surrounding young stars.

Protoplanetary Disk Resonances and Type I Migration [PDF]
2011, ApJ, 741, 109, 2011 Waves reflected by the inner edge of a protoplanetary disk are shown to significantly modify Type I migration, even allowing the trapping of planets near the inner disk edge for small planets in a range of disk parameters. This may inform the distribution planets close to their central stars, as observed by the Kepler mission.

Gas Phase diagnostics of Protoplanetary disk extension [PDF]
, 2008 We investigate the potential of using ratios of fine structure and near-infrared forbidden line transitions of atomic carbon to diagnose protoplanetary disk extension. Using results from 2D photoionisation and radiative transfer modeling of a realistic protoplanetary disk structure irradiated by X-rays from a T Tauri star, we obtain theoretical ...
