Global Hydromagnetic Simulations of Protoplanetary Disks with Stellar Irradiation and Simplified Thermochemistry [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Outflows driven by large-scale magnetic fields likely play an important role in the evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks and in setting the conditions for planet formation.

An Unbiased ALMA Spectral Survey of the LkCa 15 and MWC 480 Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The volatile contents of protoplanetary disks both set the potential for planetary chemistry and provide valuable probes of defining disk system characteristics such as stellar mass, gas mass, ionization, and temperature structure. Current disk molecular

An Evolutionary Study of Volatile Chemistry in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The volatile composition of a planet is determined by the inventory of gas and ice in the parent disk. The volatile chemistry in the disk is expected to evolve over time, though this evolution is poorly constrained observationally.

Demographics of Protoplanetary Disks: A Simulated Population of Edge-on Systems
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The structure of protoplanetary disks plays an essential role in planet formation. A disk that is highly inclined, or “edge-on,” is of particular interest since its geometry provides a unique opportunity to study the disk’s vertical structure and radial ...

A numerical approach to model chemistry of complex organic molecules in a protoplanetary disk
Open Astronomy, 2022 Multiphase astrochemical modeling presents a numerical challenge especially for the simulation of objects with the wide range of physical parameters such as protoplanetary disks.

Kinematic Evidence of an Embedded Protoplanet in HD 142666 Identified by Machine Learning
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Observations of protoplanetary disks have shown that forming exoplanets leave characteristic imprints on the gas and dust of the disk. In the gas, these forming exoplanets cause deviations from Keplerian motion, which can be detected through molecular ...

Volatiles in protoplanetary disks [PDF]
, 2014 Volatiles are compounds with low sublimation temperatures, and they make up most of the condensible mass in typical planet-forming environments. They consist of relatively small, often hydrogenated, molecules based on the abundant elements carbon ...

Contacts of Water Ice in Protoplanetary Disks—Laboratory Experiments [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Water ice is abundant in protoplanetary disks. Its sticking properties are therefore important during phases of collisional growth. In this work, we study the sticking and rolling of 1.1 mm ice grains at different temperatures.

Gas line observations of disks*
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Gas represents the bulk of the mass content in protoplanetary disks. It is therefore observations of gas that can provide important information of physical structure and chemical evolution of disks.
