Dust evolution and the formation of planetesimals

T Birnstiel, M Fang, A Johansen - Space Science Reviews, 2016 - Springer
The solid content of circumstellar disks is inherited from the interstellar medium: dust
particles of at most a micrometer in size. Protoplanetary disks are the environment where …

The disk substructures at high angular resolution project (DSHARP). VI. Dust trapping in thin-ringed protoplanetary disks

CP Dullemond, T Birnstiel, J Huang… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
A large fraction of the protoplanetary disks observed with ALMA display multiple well-
defined and nearly perfectly circular rings in the continuum, in many cases with substantial …

Sintering-induced dust ring formation in protoplanetary disks: Application to the HL tau disk

S Okuzumi, M Momose, S Sirono… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The latest observation of HL Tau by ALMA revealed spectacular concentric dust rings in its
circumstellar disk. We attempt to explain the multiple ring structure as a consequence of …

A simple model for the evolution of the dust population in protoplanetary disks

T Birnstiel, H Klahr, B Ercolano - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 - aanda.org
Context. The global size and spatial distribution of dust is an important ingredient in the
structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks and in the formation of larger bodies, such as …

Forming the cores of giant planets from the radial pebble flux in protoplanetary discs

M Lambrechts, A Johansen - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 - aanda.org
The formation of planetary cores must proceed rapidly in order for the giant planets to
accrete their gaseous envelopes before the dissipation of the protoplanetary gas disc (≲ 3 …

Wind-driven accretion in protoplanetary disks. I. Suppression of the magnetorotational instability and launching of the magnetocentrifugal wind

XN Bai, JM Stone - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform local, vertically stratified shearing-box MHD simulations of protoplanetary disks
(PPDs) at a fiducial radius of 1 AU that take into account the effects of both Ohmic resistivity …

Resolved images of large cavities in protoplanetary transition disks

SM Andrews, DJ Wilner, C Espaillat… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Evolution of debris disks

MC Wyatt - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Circumstellar dust exists around several hundred main sequence stars. For the youngest
stars, that dust could be a remnant of the protoplanetary disk. Mostly it is inferred to be …

Protoplanetary disk structures in Ophiuchus

SM Andrews, DJ Wilner, AM Hughes, C Qi… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the results of a high angular resolution (0 farcs 3≈ 40 AU) Submillimeter Array
survey of the 345 GHz (870 μm) thermal continuum emission from nine of the brightest, and …
