Planet formation—Observational constraints, physical processes, and compositional patterns

C Mordasini, R Burn - Reviews in Mineralogy and …, 2024 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
A general theory of planet formation has been a topic of intense study over many years. The
interest in such a theory emerges naturally from asking the question of where our planet …

Modelling photoevaporation in planet forming discs

B Ercolano, G Picogna - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2022 - Springer
Planets are born from the gas and dust discs surrounding young stars. Energetic radiation
from the central star can drive thermal outflows from the discs atmospheres, strongly …

Gas temperature structure across transition disk cavities

M Leemker, AS Booth, EF van Dishoeck… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Most disks observed at high angular resolution show signs of substructures, such
as rings, gaps, arcs, and cavities, in both the gas and the dust. To understand the physical …

Large gaps and high accretion rates in photoevaporative transition disks with a dead zone

M Gárate, TN Delage, J Stadler, P Pinilla… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Observations of young stars hosting transition disks show that several of them have
high accretion rates, despite their disks presenting extended cavities in their dust …

Toward a population synthesis of disks and planets-II. Confronting disk models and observations at the population level

A Emsenhuber, R Burn, J Weder, K Monsch… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Aims. We want to find the distribution of initial conditions that best reproduces disc
observations at the population level. Methods. We first ran a parameter study using a 1D …

Spatial distribution of crystalline silicates in protoplanetary disks: How to interpret mid-infrared observations

H Jang, R Waters, I Kamp, CP Dullemond - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2024 - aanda.org
Context. Crystalline silicates are an important tracer of the evolution of dust, the main
building block of planet formation. In an inner protoplanetary disk, amorphous silicates are …

The interpretation of protoplanetary disc wind diagnostic lines from X-ray photoevaporation and analytical MHD models

ML Weber, B Ercolano, G Picogna… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
High-resolution spectra of typical wind diagnostics ([O i] 6300 Å and other forbidden
emission lines) can often be decomposed into multiple components: high-velocity …

Modelling the delivery of dust from discs to ionized winds

RA Booth, CJ Clarke - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT A necessary first step for dust removal in protoplanetary disc winds is the
delivery of dust from the disc to the wind. In the case of ionized winds, the disc and wind are …

Photoevaporative Dispersal of Protoplanetary Disks around Evolving Intermediate-mass Stars

M Kunitomo, S Ida, T Takeuchi, O Panić… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We aim to understand the effect of stellar evolution on the evolution of protoplanetary disks.
We focus in particular on the disk evolution around intermediate-mass (IM) stars, which …

Interpreting molecular hydrogen and atomic oxygen line emission of T Tauri disks with photoevaporative disk-wind models

C Rab, M Weber, T Grassi, B Ercolano… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Winds in protoplanetary disks play an important role in their evolution and
dispersal. However, the physical process that is actually driving the winds is still unclear (ie …
