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 …

when and how dust settles to the midplane are unclear. As part of the Atacama Large …

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 …

Disk evolution study through imaging of nearby young stars (DESTINYS): late infall causing disk misalignment and dynamic structures in SU Aur

C Ginski, S Facchini, J Huang, M Benisty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gas-rich circumstellar disks are the cradles of planet formation. As such, their evolution will
strongly influence the resulting planet population. In the ESO DESTINYS large program, we …
