Transport and accretion in planet-forming disks

NJ Turner, S Fromang, C Gammie, H Klahr… - … and Planets VI, 2014 - books.google.com
Planets appear to form in environments shaped by the gas flowing through protostellar disks
to the central young stars. The flows in turn are governed by orbital angular momentum …
