Chemical Evolution of a Protoplanetary Disk [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper we review recent progress in our understanding of the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks. Current observational constraints and theoretical modeling on the chemical composition of gas and dust in these systems are presented.

Evidence for Magnetically‐Driven Accretion in the Distal Solar System
Abstract Paleomagnetic measurements of meteorites indicate that magnetic fields existed in the inner solar nebula capable of driving accretion at rates similar to those observed for young stellar objects with protoplanetary disks. However, the field strength in the solar system beyond ∼7 astronomical units (AU) and its role in accretion remain poorly ...

The effect of a planet on the dust distribution in a 3D protoplanetary disk [PDF]
Aims: We investigate the behaviour of dust in protoplanetary disks under the action of gas drag in the presence of a planet. Our goal is twofold: to determine the spatial distribution of dust depending on grain size and planet mass, and therefore to ...

Magma Ocean Evolution at Arbitrary Redox State
Abstract Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the solidification of oxidized Earth‐similar planets, but the diversity in mean density and irradiation observed in the low ...

Many astrophysical systems of interest, including protoplanetary accretion disks, are made of turbu- lent magnetized gas with near solar metallicity. Thermal ionization of alkali metals in such gas exceeds non-thermal ionization when temperatures climb ...

The Carbon Isotopic Ratio and Planet Formation
We present the first detection of ^13 CCH in a protoplanetary disk (TW Hya). Using observations of C _2 H, we measure CCH/ ^13 CCH = 65 ± 20 gas with a CO isotopic ratio of ^12 CO/ ^13 CO = 21 ± 5.

Formation and evolution of the protoplanetary disk [PDF]
A disk formation model during collapse of the protosolar nebula, yielding a low-mass protoplanetary disk is presented. The following subject areas are covered: (1) circumstellar disks; (2) conditions for the formation of stars with disks; (3) early ...

On Kinematic Measurements of Self-gravity in Protoplanetary Disks
Using controlled injection and recovery experiments, we devised an analysis prescription to assess the quality of dynamical measurements of protoplanetary disk gas masses based on resolved (CO) spectral line data, given observational limitations ...

Differences in elemental abundances between CI chondrites and the solar photosphere
Abstract CI chondrites have been a proxy for the solar system since the mid‐20th century. The photospheric and CI chondrite abundances (P and CI, respectively) show a strong correlation. CI as a proxy is also justified by the (i) smoothness of their abundances plotted as a function of odd mass number and (ii) agreement within the error of P as ...

Breathing Life Into Dead-Zones
The terrestrial planet formation regions of protoplanetary disks are generally sufficiently cold to be con- sidered non-magnetized and, consequently, dynamically inactive.
