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 …

History of the solar nebula from meteorite paleomagnetism

BP Weiss, XN Bai, RR Fu - Science Advances, 2021 - science.org
We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebula and
protoplanetary disks (PPDs). We discuss the implications of theory, meteorite …

Kinematic detection of a planet carving a gap in a protoplanetary disk

C Pinte, G van Der Plas, F Ménard, DJ Price… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
We still do not understand how planets form or why extrasolar planetary systems are so

most uncertain parameters directly affecting collisional growth of aggregates in planet …

The evidence of radio polarization induced by the radiative grain alignment and self-scattering of dust grains in a protoplanetary disk

A Kataoka, T Tsukagoshi, A Pohl, T Muto… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The mechanisms causing millimeter-wave polarization in protoplanetary disks are under
debate. To disentangle the polarization mechanisms, we observe the protoplanetary disk …

Radiation hydrodynamical turbulence in protoplanetary disks: Numerical models and observational constraints

M Flock, RP Nelson, NJ Turner… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Planets are born in protostellar disks, which are now observed with enough resolution to
address questions about internal gas flows. Magnetic forces are possibly drivers of the flows …

Interferometric observations of magnetic fields in forming stars

CLH Hull, Q Zhang - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 - frontiersin.org
