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 …

Transition disks: the observational revolution from SEDs to imaging

N van der Marel - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 - epjplus.epj.org
Protoplanetary disks surrounding young stars are the birth place of planets. Of particular
interest are the transition disks with large inner dust cavities of tens of au, hinting at the …

Context. Transition disks are protoplanetary disks with dust-depleted cavities, possibly
indicating substantial clearing of their dust content by a massive companion. For several …

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). XIV. Revealing disk substructures in multiwavelength continuum emission

A Sierra, LM Pérez, K Zhang, CJ Law… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Constraining dust properties of planet-forming disks via high-angular-resolution
observations is fundamental to understanding how solids are trapped in substructures and …

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 …

On the diversity of asymmetries in gapped protoplanetary disks

N Van der Marel, T Birnstiel, A Garufi… - The Astronomical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Protoplanetary disks with large inner dust cavities are thought to host massive planetary or
substellar companions. These disks show asymmetries and rings in the millimeter …
