Spiral density waves in a young protoplanetary disk

LM Pérez, JM Carpenter, SM Andrews, L Ricci, A Isella… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Gravitational forces are expected to excite spiral density waves in protoplanetary disks, disks
of gas and dust orbiting young stars. However, previous observations that showed spiral …

Asymmetric features in the protoplanetary disk MWC 758
