Light Echoes of Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalLight echoes offer a means of studying protoplanetary disks, including their geometry and composition, even when they are not spatially resolved. We present a test of this approach applied specifically to optically thick, geometrically flared disks ...

Dust in protoplanetary disks: observations* [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Solid particles, usually referred to as dust, are a crucial component of interstellar matter and of planet forming disks surrounding young stars. Despite the relatively small mass fraction of ≈1% (in the solar neighborhood of our galaxy; this number may ...

Thermodynamics of the dead-zone inner edge in protoplanetary disks [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceContext. In protoplanetary disks, the inner boundary between the turbulent and laminar regions could be a promising site for planet formation, thanks to the trapping of solids at the boundary itself or in vortices generated by the ...

A New All-sky Catalogue of Candidate Protoplanetary Disks from Aggregated Optical and Infrared Surveys [PDF]
, 2017 To guide research into formation scenarios for giant planets, I present a catalogue of 199,391 sources with candidate protoplanetary disks. These candidates are identified through an iterative color selection process in a 5,460-dimensional color-color ...

Size-dependent charging of dust particles in protoplanetary disks [PDF]
, 2023 Context. Lightning can have a profound impact on the chemistry of planetary atmospheres. In a similar manner, as protoplanetary disks are the foundation of planet formation, the emergence of lightning in protoplanetary disks can substantially alter their

MRI and Outflows: Angular Momentum Transport in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
, 2009 Angular momentum in protostellar disks can be transported radially by MHD turbulence induced by the magnetorotational instability (MRI); or vertically, via magnetocentrifugal outflows.
