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 …

The dispersal of planet-forming discs: theory confronts observations

B Ercolano, I Pascucci - Royal Society Open Science, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Discs of gas and dust around million-year-old stars are a by-product of the star formation
process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal …
