Temperature Structure in the Inner Regions of Protoplanetary Disks: Inefficient Accretion Heating Controlled by Nonideal Magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
The gas temperature in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) is determined by a combination of irradiation heating and accretion heating, with the latter conventionally attributed to turbulent dissipation. However, recent studies have suggested that the inner disk

Centimeter-sized Grains in the Compact Dust Ring around Very-low-mass Star CIDA 1

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We examined the grain size in the dust ring encircling the 0.19 M _☉ T Tauri star CIDA 1 using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array at multiple centimeter wavelengths, with a spatial resolution of 0.″2–0.″9. We detected distinct partial-ring structures at

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 ...

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 ...

On the Planetary Interpretation of Multiple Gaps and Rings in Protoplanetary Disks Seen By ALMA [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
It has been recently suggested that the multiple concentric rings and gaps discovered by ALMA in many protoplanetary disks may be produced by a single planet, as a result of the complex propagation and dissipation of the multiple spiral density waves it ...

Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesHeat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 764-774, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

Vortices in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1999
We use a high order accuracy spectral code to carry out two-dimensional time-dependent numerical simulations of vortices in accretion disks. In particular, we examine the stability and the life time of vortices in circumstellar disks around young stellar objects. The results show that cyclonic vortices dissipate quickly, while anticyclonic vortices can

Scaling Relations Associated with Millimeter Continuum Sizes in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
We present a combined, homogenized analysis of archival Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the spatially resolved 340 GHz (870 μm) continuum emission from 105 nearby protoplanetary disks ...

Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.
