Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Photometric Diagnostics of Magnetospheric Accretion Geometry in Young Stellar Objects
Laura Venuti, Connor E. Robinson, Ann Marie Cody +13
The inner disk truncation radius, , plays a crucial role in the regulation of star-disk interaction and the early evolution of star-disk-planet systems; however, measuring thi…
The effect of variable stellar magnetic fields on the spin state of T Tauri stars
Lukas Gehrig, Daniel Steiner
Understanding the stellar spin evolution of young stars is crucial for understanding the evolution of protoplanetary disks and, consequently, the formation of exoplanets. According…
Protoplanetary disks around magnetized young stars with large-scale magnetic fields I: Steady-state solutions
D. Steiner, L. Gehrig, M. Güdel
Describing the large-scale field topology of protoplanetary disks faces significant difficulties and uncertainties. The transport of the large-scale field inside the disk plays an…
Do accretion-powered stellar winds help spin down T Tauri stars?
Lukas Gehrig, Eric Gaidos, Laura Venuti +2
How T Tauri stars remain slowly rotating while still accreting material is a long-standing puzzle. Current models suggest that these stars may lose angular momentum through magneto…
On the diversification and dissipation of protoplanetary disks
Eric Gaidos, Lukas Gehrig, Manuel Güdel
Protoplanetary disk evolution exhibits trends with stellar mass, but also diversity of structure, and lifetime, with implications for planet formation and demographics. We show how…
