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 …

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 …

Abstract The Disk Substructures at High Angular Resolution Project (DSHARP) is the largest
homogeneous high-resolution (∼ 0 farcs 035, or∼ 5 au) disk continuum imaging survey …

Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …

Constraining dust properties of planet-forming disks via high-angular-resolution
observations is fundamental to understanding how solids are trapped in substructures and …

The latest observation of HL Tau by ALMA revealed spectacular concentric dust rings in its
circumstellar disk. We attempt to explain the multiple ring structure as a consequence of …

Understanding planet formation requires one to discern how dust grows in protoplanetary
disks. An important parameter to measure in disks is the maximum dust grain size present …

Context. A key piece of information to understand the origin and role of protoplanetary disk
substructures is their dust content. In particular, disk substructures associated with gas …

We model the coagulation and fragmentation of dust grains during the protostellar collapse
with our newly developed shark code. It solves the gas-dust hydrodynamics in a spherical …

In the past decade, ALMA observations have revealed that a large fraction of protoplanetary
discs contains rings in the dust continuum. These rings are the locations where pebbles …
