The Two-zone Temperature Distribution Model: Inferences on the Structure and Composition of Dusty Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In order to understand the mineralogy and structure of protoplanetary disks, it is important to analyze them from both an empirical spectrum-based perspective and a radiative transfer image-based perspective.

Molecular Gas Tracers in Young and Old Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Molecular emission is used to investigate both the physical and chemical properties of protoplanetary disks. Therefore, to derive disk properties accurately, we need a thorough understanding of the behavior of the molecular probes upon which we rely ...

Secret of Longevity: Protoplanetary Disks as a Source of Gas in Debris Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
While protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are generally thought to disperse within several million years, recent observations have revealed gas in their older counterparts, debris disks.

PROTOPLANETARY DISK EVOLUTION

open access: yes, 2004
One of the most active fields of research in accretion disk theory is understanding the mechanisms that transport angular momentum outward. Two instabilities are thought to be responsible for it in massive, magnetized disks: the magnetorotational instability (MRI) caused by the presence of a weak magnetic field, and gravitational instabilities.This PhD

Bouncing Grains Keep Protoplanetary Disks Bright

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Protoplanetary disks display the so-called size–luminosity relation, where their millimeter wavelength fluxes scale linearly with their emitting areas.
