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 …

Demographics of young stars and their protoplanetary disks: lessons learned on disk evolution and its connection to planet formation

CF Manara, M Ansdell, GP Rosotti, AM Hughes… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Since Protostars and Planets VI (PPVI), our knowledge of the global properties of
protoplanetary and debris disks, as well as of young stars, has dramatically improved. At the …

A steeper than linear disk mass–stellar mass scaling relation

I Pascucci, L Testi, GJ Herczeg, F Long… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The disk mass is among the most important input parameter for every planet formation
model to determine the number and masses of the planets that can form. We present an …

Observations of edge-on protoplanetary disks with ALMA-I. Results from continuum data

M Villenave, F Ménard, WRF Dent, G Duchêne… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Aims. We aim to study vertical settling and radial drift of dust in protoplanetary disks from a
different perspective: an edge-on view. An estimation of the amplitude of settling and drift is …

On the diversity and statistical properties of protostellar discs

MR Bate - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present results from the first population synthesis study of protostellar discs. We analyse
the evolution and properties of a large sample of protostellar discs formed in a radiation …

A stellar mass dependence of structured disks: a possible link with exoplanet demographics

N van der Marel, GD Mulders - The Astronomical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation.
However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a …

ALMA observations of circumstellar disks in the upper scorpius OB association

SA Barenfeld, JM Carpenter, L Ricci… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present ALMA observations of 106 G-, K-, and M-type stars in the Upper Scorpius OB
Association hosting circumstellar disks. With these data, we measure the 0.88 mm …

An ALMA survey of CO isotopologue emission from protoplanetary disks in Chamaeleon I

F Long, GJ Herczeg, I Pascucci… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The mass of a protoplanetary disk limits the formation and future growth of any planet.
Masses of protoplanetary disks are usually calculated from measurements of the dust …

Physical properties of dusty protoplanetary disks in Lupus: evidence for viscous evolution?

M Tazzari, L Testi, A Natta, M Ansdell… - Astronomy & …, 2017 - aanda.org
Context. The formation of planets strongly depends on the total amount as well as on the
spatial distribution of solids in protoplanetary disks. Thanks to the improvements in …
