Light Echoes of Time-resolved Flares and Application to Kepler Data

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Light echoes of stellar flares provide an intriguing option for exploring protoplanetary disks in young stellar systems. Previous work on light echoes of circumstellar disks made use of delta-function flares for modeling.

Dust growth in protoplanetary disks - a comprehensive experimental/theoretical approach

open access: yes, 2010
More than a decade of dedicated experimental work on the collisional physics of protoplanetary dust has brought us to a point at which the growth of dust aggregates can - for the first time - be self-consistently and reliably modelled.

Dust retention in protoplanetary disks

open access: yes, 2009
Context: Protoplanetary disks are observed to remain dust-rich for up to several million years. Theoretical modeling, on the other hand, raises several questions.

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.

Dust Evolution in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yes, 2014
(abridged) In the core accretion scenario for the formation of planetary rocky cores, the first step toward planet formation is the growth of dust grains into larger and larger aggregates and eventually planetesimals.

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.

Dust Ejection from Planetary Bodies by Temperature Gradients: Laboratory Experiments

open access: yes, 2011
Laboratory experiments show that dusty bodies in a gaseous environment eject dust particles if they are illuminated. We find that even more intense dust eruptions occur when the light source is turned off.

Asymmetric Temperature Variations In Protoplanetary Disks. I. Linear Theory, Corotating Spirals, and Ring Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Protoplanetary disks can exhibit asymmetric temperature variations due to phenomena such as shadows cast by the inner disk or localized heating by young planets. We investigate the disk features induced by these asymmetric temperature variations. We find
