A parametric modeling approach to measuring the gas masses of circumstellar disks

JP Williams, WMJ Best - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The disks that surround young stars are mostly composed of molecular gas, which is harder
to detect and interpret than the accompanying dust. Disk mass measurements have …
