The dispersal of planet-forming discs: theory confronts observations

B Ercolano, I Pascucci - Royal Society Open Science, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Discs of gas and dust around million-year-old stars are a by-product of the star formation
process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal …

Protoplanetary disks and their evolution

JP Williams, LA Cieza - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Flattened, rotating disks of cool dust and gas extending for tens to hundreds of astronomical
units are found around almost all low-mass stars shortly after their birth. These disks …

Water in the terrestrial planet-forming zone of the PDS 70 disk

G Perotti, V Christiaens, T Henning, B Tabone… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Terrestrial and sub-Neptune planets are expected to form in the inner (less than 10 au)
regions of protoplanetary disks. Water plays a key role in their formation,–, although it is yet …

Protoplanetary disk structures in Ophiuchus. II. Extension to fainter sources

SM Andrews, DJ Wilner, AM Hughes, C Qi… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new results from a significant extension of our previous high angular resolution
(0 farcs 3≈ 40 AU) submillimeter array survey of the 340 GHz (880 μm) thermal continuum …

Hints for icy pebble migration feeding an oxygen-rich chemistry in the inner planet-forming region of disks

A Banzatti, I Pascucci, AD Bosman… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a synergic study of protoplanetary disks to investigate links between inner-disk
gas molecules and the large-scale migration of solid pebbles. The sample includes 63 disks …

The present-day star formation rate of the milky way determined from spitzer-detected young stellar objects

TP Robitaille, BA Whitney - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present initial results from a population synthesis model aimed at determining the star
formation rate (SFR) of the Milky Way. We find that a total SFR of 0.68–1.45 M☉ yr− 1 is able …

Kinematic Links and the Coevolution of MHD Winds, Jets, and Inner Disks from a High-resolution Optical [] Survey

We present a survey of optical [O i] emission at 6300 Å toward 65 T Tauri stars at the spectral
resolution of∼ 7 km s− 1. Past work identified a highly blueshifted velocity component (HVC) …

Accretion rates for T Tauri stars using nearly simultaneous ultraviolet and optical spectra

L Ingleby, N Calvet, G Herczeg, A Blaty… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the accretion properties of 21 low-mass T Tauri stars using a data set of
contemporaneous near-UV (NUV) through optical observations obtained with the Hubble …

Chemistry in protoplanetary disks

T Henning, D Semenov - Chemical Reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
Since the discovery of the first extrasolar planet around a solartype star, 1 more than 900
such planets outside of our solar system have been detected by ground-and space-based …

Scanning disk rings and winds in CO at 0.01–10 au: a high-resolution M-band spectroscopy survey with IRTF-iSHELL
