Protoplanetary disk chemistry

KI Öberg, S Facchini… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Planets form in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The disk molecular reservoirs and
their chemical evolution affect all aspects of planet formation, from the coagulation of dust …

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 …

Two accreting protoplanets around the young star PDS 70

SY Haffert, AJ Bohn, J De Boer, IAG Snellen… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Newly forming protoplanets are expected to create cavities and substructures in young, gas-
rich protoplanetary disks,–, but they are difficult to detect as they could be confused with disk …

Gravitational instabilities in circumstellar disks

K Kratter, G Lodato - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Star and planet formation are the complex outcomes of gravitational collapse and angular
momentum transport mediated by protostellar and protoplanetary disks. In this review, we …

Theory of star formation

CF McKee, EC Ostriker - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

Gas-and dust evolution in protoplanetary disks

T Birnstiel, CP Dullemond, F Brauer - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2010 - aanda.org
Context. Current models of the size-and radial evolution of dust in protoplanetary disks
generally oversimplify either the radial evolution of the disk (by focussing at one single …

Dynamics of protoplanetary disks

PJ Armitage - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Protoplanetary disks are quasi-steady structures whose evolution and dispersal determine
the environment for planet formation. I review the theory of protoplanetary disk evolution and …

Episodic accretion in young stars

M Audard, P Abrahám, MM Dunham… - … and planets VI, 2014 - books.google.com
Episodic accretion has become a recent focus of attention in the star-and planet-formation
community, turning into a central topic to understand the evolution of protostars and …

Variable protostellar accretion with episodic bursts

EI Vorobyov, S Basu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the latest development of the disk gravitational instability and fragmentation
model, originally introduced by us to explain episodic accretion bursts in the early stages of …

The dispersal of protoplanetary disks

R Alexander, I Pascucci, S Andrews, P Armitage… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
Protoplanetary disks are the sites of planet formation, and the evolution and eventual
dispersal of these disks strongly influences the formation of planetary systems. Disk …
