Extinction Values toward Embedded Planets in Protoplanetary Disks Estimated from Hydrodynamic Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Upcoming new coronographs with deeper contrast limits, together with planned and current high-contrast imaging campaigns, will push the detectability limit of protoplanets.

A millimeter Continuum Size–Luminosity Relationship for Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a survey at subarcsecond resolution of the 340 GHz dust continuum emission from 50 nearby protoplanetary disks, based on new and archival observations with the Submillimeter Array.

Zirconium isotope composition indicates s‐process depletion in samples returned from asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 3-16, January 2025.
Abstract Nucleosynthetic isotope variations are powerful tracers to determine genetic relationships between meteorites and planetary bodies. They can help to link material collected by space missions to known meteorite groups. The Hayabusa 2 mission returned samples from the Cb‐type asteroid (162173) Ryugu.

Chemical Evolution of a Protoplanetary Disk [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
AbstractIn this paper we review recent progress in our understanding of the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks. Current observational constraints and theoretical modeling on the chemical composition of gas and dust in these systems are presented.

Evidence for Magnetically‐Driven Accretion in the Distal Solar System

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2024.
Abstract Paleomagnetic measurements of meteorites indicate that magnetic fields existed in the inner solar nebula capable of driving accretion at rates similar to those observed for young stellar objects with protoplanetary disks. However, the field strength in the solar system beyond ∼7 astronomical units (AU) and its role in accretion remain poorly ...

Dust Coagulation and Settling in Layered Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Previous models of dust growth in protoplanetary disks considered either uniformly laminar or turbulent disks. This Letter explores how dust growth occurs in a layered protoplanetary disk in which the magnetorotational instability generates turbulence only in the surface layers of a disk.

Deriving median disk lifetimes from disk lifetime distributions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Observations show that individual protoplanetary disk lifetimes vary from \mbox{$<$ 1 Myr} to $\gg$ 20 Myr. The disk lifetime distribution is currently unknown. For the example of a Gaussian distribution of the disk lifetime, I suggest a simple method for deducing such a disk lifetimes distribution.

Formation of close-in super-Earths in evolving protoplanetary disks due to disk winds [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2018
Context. Planets with masses larger than about 0.1 M⊕ undergo rapid inward migration (type I migration) in a standard protoplanetary disk. Recent magnetohydrodynamical simulations revealed the presence of magnetically driven disk winds, which would alter

Magma Ocean Evolution at Arbitrary Redox State

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 129, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the solidification of oxidized Earth‐similar planets, but the diversity in mean density and irradiation observed in the low ...

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

open access: yes, 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 disk believed to mark the disappearance of the primordial massive disk.
