Surface Energy of Insoluble Organic Matter Simulant: Evaluation Based on Adhesive Force Measured by Centrifugal and Impact Separation Methods

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
In protoplanetary disks, organic mantle is regarded as promoting the collisional sticking of rocky dust grains. However, the surface energy, which is one of the primary factors determining collisional sticking, has not been well quantified.

The Empirical and Radiative Transfer Hybrid (EaRTH) Disk Model: Merging Analyses of Protoplanetary Dust Disk Mineralogy and Structure

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Our understanding of how exoplanets form and evolve relies on analyses of both the mineralogy of protoplanetary disks and their detailed structures; however, these key complementary aspects of disks are usually studied separately.

JVLA Measurement of Grain Size in the Compact Dust Ring Around Class I Protostar WL 17

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The maximum grain size in protoplanetary disks is a critical parameter for planet formation, as the efficiency of mechanisms like streaming instability and pebble accretion depend on grain size.

Dead Zones as Thermal Barriers to Rapid Planetary Migration in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yes, 2010
Planetary migration in standard models of gaseous protoplanetary disks is known to be very rapid ($\sim 10^5$ years) jeopardizing the existence of planetary systems.

exoALMA. I. Science Goals, Project Design, and Data Products

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Planet formation is a hugely dynamic process requiring the transport, concentration, and assimilation of gas and dust to form the first planetesimals and cores.

Measuring the Two-dimensional Thermal Structures of Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a flexible, annulus-by-annulus method to constrain the 2D thermal structure of a protoplanetary disk from optically thick spectral line emission.

Tracing Pebble Drift History in Two Protoplanetary Disks with CO Enhancement

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Pebble drift is an important mechanism for supplying the materials needed to build planets in the inner region of protoplanetary disks. Thus, constraining pebble drift’s timescales and mass flux is essential to understanding planet formation history ...

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO). I. Program Overview and Summary of First Results

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO), a large program of the ALMA. AGE-PRO aims to systematically trace the evolution of gas disk mass and size throughout the lifetime of ...

On Kinematic Measurements of Self-gravity in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using controlled injection and recovery experiments, we devised an analysis prescription to assess the quality of dynamical measurements of protoplanetary disk gas masses based on resolved (CO) spectral line data, given observational limitations ...
