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

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 ...

Breathing Life Into Dead-Zones

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The terrestrial planet formation regions of protoplanetary disks are generally sufficiently cold to be con- sidered non-magnetized and, consequently, dynamically inactive.

The Carbon Isotopic Ratio and Planet Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first detection of ^13 CCH in a protoplanetary disk (TW Hya). Using observations of C _2 H, we measure CCH/ ^13 CCH = 65 ± 20 gas with a CO isotopic ratio of ^12 CO/ ^13 CO = 21 ± 5.

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.

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.
