Evolution of Gas and Dust in Circumstellar Disks
A clear understanding of the chemical processing of matter as it is transferred from a molecular cloud to a planetary system depends heavily on the physical conditions endured by gas and dust as these accrete onto a disk and are incorporated into planetary bodies. Reviewed here are astrophysical observations of circumstellar disks which trace their evolving properties. Accretion disks that are ...
متن کاملThe Observation of Circumstellar Disks: Dust and Gas Components
Since the 1990’s, protoplanetary disks and planetary disks have been intensively observed from the optical to the millimetre wavelength and many models have been developed to investigate their gas and dust properties and dynamics. These studies remain empirical and rely on poor statistics with only a few well known objects. However, the late phases of the stellar formation are among the most cr...
متن کاملPhotophoretic Structuring of Circumstellar Dust Disks
We study dust accumulation by photophoresis in optically thin gas disks. Using formulae of the photophoretic force that are applicable for the free molecular regime and for the slip-flow regime, we calculate dust accumulation distances as a function of the particle size. It is found that photophoresis pushes particles (smaller than 10 cm) outward. For a Sun-like star, these particles are transp...
متن کاملRadiative transfer in very optically thick circumstellar disks
Aims. In this paper we present two efficient implementations of the diffusion approximation to be employed in Monte Carlo computations of radiative transfer in dusty media of massive circumstellar disks. The aim is to improve the accuracy of the computed temperature structure and to decrease the computation time. The accuracy, efficiency and applicability of the methods in various corners of pa...
متن کاملEvidence for dust grain growth in young circumstellar disks.
Hundreds of circumstellar disks in the Orion nebula are being rapidly destroyed by the intense ultraviolet radiation produced by nearby bright stars. These young, million-year-old disks may not survive long enough to form planetary systems. Nevertheless, the first stage of planet formation-the growth of dust grains into larger particles-may have begun in these systems. Observational evidence fo...
