Modeling the Structure of Protoplanetary Disks in Chameleon II and Taurus Star-forming Regions

Abstract: Protoplanetary disks are disks of gas and dust that surround newly-formed stars. The structure and evolution of these objects determine how planet formation proceeds; studying how protoplanetary disks vary with age, structure, and region will provide us with clues to the origin and properties of planets around other stars and within our own solar … Read more
