Dynamics of Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2011
Protoplanetary disks are quasi-steady structures whose evolution and dispersal determine the environment for planet formation. I review the theory of protoplanetary disk evolution and its connection to observations.

Silica in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
Mid-infrared spectra of a few T Tauri stars (TTS) taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope show prominent narrow emission features indicating silica (crystalline silicon dioxide).

Photoprocesses in protoplanetary disks [PDF]

Faraday Discussions, 2006
Circumstellar disks are exposed to intense ultraviolet radiation from the young star. In the inner disks, the UV radiation can be enhanced by more than seven orders of magnitude compared with the average interstellar field, resulting in a physical and ...

Chemistry in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

Chemical Reviews, 2013
This comprehensive review summarizes our current understanding of the evolution of gas, solids and molecular ices in protoplanetary disks. Key findings related to disk physics and chemistry, both observationally and theoretically, are highlighted.

Volatiles in protoplanetary disks [PDF]

, 2014
Volatiles are compounds with low sublimation temperatures, and they make up most of the condensible mass in typical planet-forming environments. They consist of relatively small, often hydrogenated, molecules based on the abundant elements carbon ...

Protoplanetary Disk Chemistry

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2023
Planets form in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The disk molecular reservoirs and their chemical evolution affect all aspects of planet formation, from the coagulation of dust grains into pebbles to the elemental and molecular compositions of the mature planet.

Dust in protoplanetary disks: observations* [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Solid particles, usually referred to as dust, are a crucial component of interstellar matter and of planet forming disks surrounding young stars. Despite the relatively small mass fraction of ≈1% (in the solar neighborhood of our galaxy; this number may ...

Herschel evidence for disk flattening or gas depletion in transitional disks [PDF]

, 2014
Transitional disks are protoplanetary disks characterized by reduced near- and mid-infrared emission with respect to full disks. This characteristic spectral energy distribution indicates the presence of an optically thin inner cavity within the dust ...

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 ...
