Dust masses of Upper Scorpius disks and their statistics

Huiyi Deng, Yao Liu, Min Fang

The total dust mass of protoplanetary disks is a key property that determines the potential for planet formation. Upper Scorpius (USco), with an age of ~5-12Myr, provides an import…

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…

Dust mass in protoplanetary disks with porous dust opacities

Yao Liu, Hélène Roussel, Hendrik Linz +8

ALMA surveys have suggested that protoplanetary disks are not massive enough to form the known exoplanet population, under the assumption that the millimeter continuum emission is…

Uncertainties of the dust grain size in protoplanetary disks retrieved from millimeter continuum observations

Dafa Li, Yao Liu, Hongchi Wang +2

Investigating the dust grain size and its dependence on substructures in protoplanetary disks is a crucial step in understanding the initial process of planet formation. Spectral i…
