Ionized gas emission in protoplanetary disks with the SKAO
Greta Guidi, Christian Rab, Barbara Ercolano +20
Protoplanetary disks represent a crucial stage in the evolution of Young Stellar Objects towards the formation of fully formed planetary systems. While substantial progress has bee…

Can photoevaporation open gaps in protoplanetary discs?
Michael L. Weber, Barbara Ercolano, Giovanni Picogna
We investigate whether photoevaporation alone can open and sustain gaps in protoplanetary discs by coupling the evolving disc structure with the photoevaporative flow in two dimens…

From thermal to magnetic driving: spectral diagnostics of simulation-based magnetothermal disc wind models
Michael L. Weber, Eleftheria Sarafidou, Christian Rab +2
Disc winds driven by thermal and magnetic processes are thought to play a critical role in protoplanetary disc evolution. However, the relative contribution of each mechanism remai…
