Debris Disks: Probing Planet Formation

open access: yes, 2018
Debris disks are the dust disks found around ~20% of nearby main sequence stars in far-IR surveys. They can be considered as descendants of protoplanetary disks or components of planetary systems, providing valuable information on circumstellar disk ...

The effects of pressure on immiscibility in metallic, core‐forming liquids: Implications for protoplanetary differentiation

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 720-738, April 2026.
Abstract Mechanisms for metal core formation in rocky planetesimals and planetary embryos remain poorly constrained, in part due to complexities arising from immiscibility in core‐forming liquids at low pressures. To assess the pressure dependence of immiscibility and its role in protoplanetary differentiation, we performed experiments at 3 and 5 GPa ...

Protoplanetary Disk Polarization at Multiple Wavelengths: Are Dust Populations Diverse?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Millimeter and submillimeter observations of continuum linear dust polarization provide insight into dust grain growth in protoplanetary disks, which are the progenitors of planetary systems.

Confined Chemistry in Space: Zeolite‐Supported Fe13 Nanoclusters Modulate CS Reactivity

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study explores how an Fe13 cluster confined in chabazite reshapes the reaction of CS and H2 under astrochemical conditions. Confinement promotes C–S bond cleavage over hydrogenation, directing chemistry toward CH4 and H2S formation. Additional CS enables CS2 and C2 species. Microkinetic analysis identifies protoplanetary environments where zeolites

Puffed-up Inner Rings and Razor-thin Outer Rings in Structured Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The vertical distribution of pebbles in protoplanetary disks is a fundamental property influencing planet formation, from dust aggregation to the assembly of planetary cores.

Substructures in Compact Disks of the Taurus Star-forming Region

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Observations of substructure in protoplanetary disks have largely been limited to the brightest and largest disks, excluding the abundant population of compact disks, which are likely sites of planet formation.

Exploring the Interior Structure of (16) Psyche Through Basin‐Scale Collisions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche, the largest member of the M/X‐type asteroids, may be the leftover core of a differentiated planetesimal. As such (16) Psyche will be explored in detail by NASA's discovery‐class Psyche mission in 2029. This will be the first mission to orbit a metal‐rich asteroid, or any asteroid in the 100–500 km size range.

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO). XI. Beam-corrected Gas Disk Sizes from Fitting 12CO Moment Zero Maps

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The inward drift of millimeter–centimeter sized pebbles in protoplanetary disks has become an important part of our current theories of planet formation and, more recently, planet composition as well.

Location and sizes of forsterite grains in protoplanetary disks: interpretation from the Herschel DIGIT programme [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The spectra of protoplanetary disks contain mid- and far- infrared emission features produced by forsterite dust grains. The spectral features contain information about the forsterite temperature, chemical composition and grain size.

Protoplanetary Disks as (Possibly) Viscous Disks [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2017
Abstract Protoplanetary disks are believed to evolve on megayear timescales in a diffusive (viscous) manner as a result of angular momentum transport driven by internal stresses. Here we use a sample of 26 protoplanetary disks resolved by ALMA with measured (dust-based) masses and stellar accretion rates to derive the dimensionless α ...
