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 ...

Demographics of Protoplanetary Disks: A Simulated Population of Edge-on Systems
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The structure of protoplanetary disks plays an essential role in planet formation. A disk that is highly inclined, or “edge-on,” is of particular interest since its geometry provides a unique opportunity to study the disk’s vertical structure and radial ...

A numerical approach to model chemistry of complex organic molecules in a protoplanetary disk
Open Astronomy, 2022 Multiphase astrochemical modeling presents a numerical challenge especially for the simulation of objects with the wide range of physical parameters such as protoplanetary disks.

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 line observations of disks*
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Gas represents the bulk of the mass content in protoplanetary disks. It is therefore observations of gas that can provide important information of physical structure and chemical evolution of disks.

Massive Protostellar Disks as a Hot Laboratory of Silicate Grain Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Typical accretion disks around massive protostars are hot enough for water ice to sublimate. We here propose to utilize the massive protostellar disks for investigating the collisional evolution of silicate grains with no ice mantle, which is an ...

Scattered Radiation of Protoplanetary Disks
Universe, 2022 Scattered radiation of circumstellar (CS) dust plays an important role in the physics of young stars. Its observational manifestations are various but more often they are connected with the appearance of intrinsic polarization in young stars and their CS

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

First detection of HDO ice in a protoplanetary disk
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Protoplanetary disks are the birthplace of planets and planetary systems. Investigating the molecular inventory of disks is key to linking the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium and the makeup of planets and their atmospheres.
