Observations of protoplanetary disk structures

SM Andrews - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Close encounters: How stellar flybys shape planet-forming discs

N Cuello, F Ménard, DJ Price - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 - Springer
We review the role of stellar flybys and encounters in shaping planet-forming discs around
young stars, based on the published literature on this topic in the last 30 years. Since most …

Disk evolution study through imaging of nearby young stars (DESTINYS): late infall causing disk misalignment and dynamic structures in SU Aur

C Ginski, S Facchini, J Huang, M Benisty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gas-rich circumstellar disks are the cradles of planet formation. As such, their evolution will
strongly influence the resulting planet population. In the ESO DESTINYS large program, we …

The size of monomers of dust aggregates in planet-forming disks-Insights from quantitative optical and near-infrared polarimetry

R Tazaki, C Dominik - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. The size of the constituent particles (monomers) of dust aggregates is one of the

Protoplanetary disks in Ks-band total intensity and polarized light

BB Ren, M Benisty, C Ginski, R Tazaki… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. The diverse morphology among protoplanetary disks may result from planet-disk
interactions, suggesting the presence of planets undergoing formation. The characterization …

The degree of alignment between circumbinary disks and their binary hosts

I Czekala, E Chiang, SM Andrews… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
All four circumbinary (CB) protoplanetary disks orbiting short-period (P< 20 days) double-

Fractal aggregates of submicron-sized grains in the young planet-forming disk around IM lup

R Tazaki, C Ginski, C Dominik - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Despite rapidly growing disk observations, it remains a mystery what primordial dust
aggregates look like and what the physical and chemical properties of their constituent …

Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) observations that are currently possible of the proto …

Observational Signature of Tightly Wound Spirals Driven by Buoyancy Resonances in Protoplanetary Disks

J Bae, R Teague, Z Zhu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Besides the spirals induced by the Lindblad resonances, planets can generate a family of
