This review addresses the state of research that employs astronomical (remote sensing)
observations of solids (“dust”) in young circumstellar disks to learn about planet formation …

Circumstellar disks are thought to experience a rapid" transition" phase in their evolution that
can have a considerable impact on the formation and early development of planetary …

Astronomical observations and analysis of stardust isolated from meteorites have revealed a
highly diverse interstellar and circumstellar grain inventory, including a wide range of …

We present a sensitive, multiwavelength submillimeter continuum survey of 153 young
stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga star formation region. The submillimeter detection rate is …

ABSTRACT A model for irradiated dust disks around Herbig Ae stars is proposed. The
model is based on the flaring disk model given by Chiang and Goldreich in 1997, but with …

We present detailed models of irradiated T Tauri disks including dust grain growth with
power-law size distributions. The models assume complete mixing between dust and gas …

We present a high spatial resolution submillimeter continuum survey of 24 circumstellar
disks in the Taurus-Auriga and Ophiuchus-Scorpius star formation regions using the SMA. In …

We construct detailed vertical structure models of irradiated accretion disks around T Tauri
stars with interstellar medium dust uniformly mixed with gas. The dependence of the …

The prevalence of substructures in∼ 1–10 Myr old protoplanetary disks, which are often
linked to planet formation, has raised the question of how early such features form and, as a …

We present self-consistent disk models of T Tauri stars that include a parameterized
treatment of dust settling and grain growth, building on techniques developed in a series of …
