Dust masses of young disks: constraining the initial solid reservoir for planet formation
Context. Recent years have seen building evidence that planet formation starts early, in the
first~ 0.5 Myr. Studying the dust masses available in young disks enables us to understand …

A stellar mass dependence of structured disks: a possible link with exoplanet demographics
Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation.
However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a …
