Accretion onto pre-main-sequence stars

L Hartmann, G Herczeg, N Calvet - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Accretion through circumstellar disks plays an important role in star formation and in
establishing the properties of the regions in which planets form and migrate. The …

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 …

Dust-depleted inner disks in a large sample of transition disks through long-baseline ALMA observations

L Francis, N van der Marel - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Transition disks with large inner dust cavities are thought to host massive companions.
However, the disk structure inside the companion orbit and how material flows toward an …

Flows of gas through a protoplanetary gap

S Casassus, G van der Plas, WRF Dent, E Fomalont… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
The formation of gaseous giant planets is thought to occur in the first few million years after
stellar birth. Models predict that the process produces a deep gap in the dust component …

Shadows cast by a warp in the HD 142527 protoplanetary disk

S Marino, S Perez, S Casassus - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Detailed observations of gaps in protoplanetary disks have revealed structures that drive

Protoplanetary disk lifetimes vs. stellar mass and possible implications for giant planet populations

Á Ribas, H Bouy, B Merín - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 - aanda.org
Aims. We study the dependence of protoplanetary disk evolution on stellar mass using a
large sample of young stellar objects in nearby young star-forming regions. Methods. We …

Scaling relations associated with millimeter continuum sizes in protoplanetary disks

Circumbinary, not transitional: on the spiral arms, cavity, shadows, fast radial flows, streamers, and horseshoe in the HD 142527 disc

DJ Price, N Cuello, C Pinte, D Mentiplay… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present 3D hydrodynamical models of the HD 142527 protoplanetary disc, a bright and
well-studied disc that shows spirals and shadows in scattered light around a 100 au gas …

Homogeneous study of Herbig Ae/Be stars from spectral energy distributions and Gaia EDR3

J Guzmán-Díaz, I Mendigutía, B Montesinos… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org

samples that are scattered throughout the sky. Their fundamental stellar and circumstellar …

Accretion-driven turbulence as universal process: galaxies, molecular clouds, and protostellar disks

RS Klessen, P Hennebelle - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2010 - aanda.org
Context. Even though turbulent motions are found everywhere in astrophysical systems, the
origin of this turbulence is poorly understood. When cosmic structures form, they grow in …
