A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk

Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143

Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
