Self-Sustained Ionization and Vanishing Dead Zones in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yes, 2005
We analyze the ionization state of the magnetohydrodynamically turbulent protoplanetary disks and propose a new mechanism of sustaining ionization. First, we show that in the quasi-steady state of turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability in a ...

Radial Migration of Gap-opening Planets in Protoplanetary Disks. I. The Case of a Single Planet [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
A large planet orbiting a star in a protoplanetary disk opens a density gap along its orbit due to the strong disk–planet interaction and migrates with the gap in the disk.

Formation of the First Planetesimals via the Streaming Instability in Globally Turbulent Protoplanetary Disks?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using self-consistent models of turbulent particle growth in an evolving protoplanetary nebula of solar composition, we find that recently proposed local metallicity and Stokes number criteria necessary for the streaming instability to generate ...

Scattered Radiation of Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Scattered radiation of circumstellar (CS) dust plays an important role in the physics of young stars. Its observational manifestations are various but more often they are connected with the appearance of intrinsic polarization in young stars and their CS

Accretion of Solid Materials onto Circumplanetary Disks from Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate accretion of solid materials onto circumplanetary disks from heliocentric orbits rotating in protoplanetary disks, which is a key process for the formation of regular satellite systems.

Sulfur Chemistry in Protoplanetary Disks: CS and H2CS [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
The nature and abundance of sulfur chemistry in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) may impact the sulfur inventory on young planets and therefore their habitability.

The composition of the protosolar disk and the formation conditions for comets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Conditions in the protosolar nebula have left their mark in the composition of cometary volatiles, thought to be some of the most pristine material in the solar system.

New Constraints From Dust Lines on the Surface Densities of Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
We present new determinations of disk surface density, independent of an assumed dust opacity, for a sample of seven bright, diverse, protoplanetary disks using measurements of disk dust lines.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Silica in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yes, 2008
Mid-infrared spectra of a few T Tauri stars (TTS) taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope show prominent narrow emission features indicating silica (crystalline silicon dioxide).
