An ALMA survey of protoplanetary disks in the σ Orionis cluster

M Ansdell, JP Williams, CF Manara… - The Astronomical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The σ Orionis cluster is important for studying protoplanetary disk evolution, as its
intermediate age (∼ 3–5 Myr) is comparable to the median disk lifetime. We use ALMA to …

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 …
