Dust masses of Upper Scorpius disks and their statistics
Huiyi Deng, Yao Liu, Min Fang
The paper measures dust masses of 136 protoplanetary disks in Upper Scorpius using ALMA 0.88 mm observations and a new grid of radiative‑transfer models, finding dust masses about…
Evidence for Systematically Larger Dust Grains in Upper Scorpius Relative to Taurus Disks
Yao Liu, Ilaria Pascucci, Fei Gao +10
Infrared spectroscopy provides a powerful diagnostic for probing the mineralogical properties of dust grains in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks. The…
Dust processing in the terrestrial planet-forming region of the PDS 70 disk
Yao Liu, Dafa Li, Hongchi Wang +5
Dust grains in protoplanetary disks are the building blocks of planets. Investigating the dust composition and size, and their variation over time, is crucial for understanding the…
LAMOST Reveals Long-lived Protoplanetary Disks
Xiao-Long Wang, Min Fang, Yao Liu +2
While both observations and theories demonstrate that protoplanetary disks are not expected to live much longer than 10 Myr, several examples of prolonged disks have been obs…
