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 …

The disk substructures at high angular resolution project (DSHARP). VII. The planet–disk interactions interpretation

S Zhang, Z Zhu, J Huang, VV Guzmán… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Disk Substructures at High Angular Resolution Project (DSHARP) provides a

The eccentric cavity, triple rings, two-armed spirals, and double clumps of the MWC 758 disk

R Dong, S Liu, J Eisner, S Andrews… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Spatially resolved structures in protoplanetary disks hint at unseen planets. Previous
imaging observations of the transitional disk around MWC 758 revealed an inner cavity, a …

Circumbinary, not transitional: on the spiral arms, cavity, shadows, fast radial flows, streamers, and horseshoe in the HD 142527 disc

DJ Price, N Cuello, C Pinte, D Mentiplay… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present 3D hydrodynamical models of the HD 142527 protoplanetary disc, a bright and
well-studied disc that shows spirals and shadows in scattered light around a 100 au gas …

Asymptotically stable numerical method for multispecies momentum transfer: Gas and multifluid dust test suite and implementation in FARGO3D

P Benítez-Llambay, L Krapp… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an asymptotically and unconditionally stable numerical method to account for
the momentum transfer between multiple species. Momentum is conserved to machine …

Dust unveils the formation of a mini-Neptune planet in a protoplanetary ring

S Pérez, S Casassus, C Baruteau, R Dong… - The Astronomical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Rings and radial gaps are ubiquitous in protoplanetary disks, yet their possible connection
to planet formation is currently subject to intense debates. In principle, giant planet formation …

Evidence for a massive dust-trapping vortex connected to spirals-Multi-wavelength analysis of the HD 135344B protoplanetary disk

P Cazzoletti, EF Van Dishoeck, P Pinilla… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. Spiral arms, rings and large scale asymmetries are structures observed in high
resolution observations of protoplanetary disks, and it appears that some of the disks …

How much does turbulence change the pebble isolation mass for planet formation?

S Ataiee, C Baruteau, Y Alibert, W Benz - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. When a planet becomes massive enough, it gradually carves a partial gap around
its orbit in the protoplanetary disk. A pressure maximum can be formed outside the gap …
