Multiwavelength analysis for interferometric (sub-) mm observations of protoplanetary disks-Radial constraints on the dust properties and the disk structure

M Tazzari, L Testi, B Ercolano, A Natta, A Isella… - Astronomy & …, 2016 - aanda.org
Context. The growth of dust grains from sub-μm to mm and cm sizes is the first step towards
the formation of planetesimals. Theoretical models of grain growth predict that dust …

A dual-frequency sub-arcsecond study of proto-planetary disks at mm wavelengths: first evidence for radial variations of the dust properties

S Guilloteau, A Dutrey, V Piétu, Y Boehler - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 - aanda.org
