Shallow Cavities in Multiple-Planet Systems
Paul C. Duffell, Ruobing Dong
Large cavities are often observed in protoplanetary disks, which might suggest the presence of planets opening gaps in the disk. Multiple planets are necessary to produce a wide ca…
The Structure of Pre-transitional Protoplanetary Disks. II. Azimuthal Asymmetries, Different Radial Distributions of Large and Small Dust Grains in PDS~70
J. Hashimoto, T. Tsukagoshi, J. M. Brown +54
The formation scenario of a gapped disk, i.e., transitional disk, and its asymmetry is still under debate. Proposed scenarios such as disk-planet interaction, photoevaporation, gra…
Observational Signatures of Planets in Protoplanetary Disks I: Gaps Opened by Single and Multiple Young Planets in Disks
Ruobing Dong, Zhaohuan Zhu, Barbara Whitney
It has been suggested that the gaps and cavities recently discovered in transitional disks are opened by planets. To explore this scenario, we combine two-dimensional two fluid (ga…
Surface Geometry of Protoplanetary Disks Inferred From Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry
Michihiro Takami, Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Takayuki Muto +58
We present a new method of analysis for determining the surface geometry of five protoplanetary disks observed with near-infrared imaging polarimetry using Subaru-HiCIAO. Using as…
The Science Case for the Planet Formation Imager (PFI)
Stefan Kraus, John Monnier, Tim Harries +16
Among the most fascinating and hotly-debated areas in contemporary astrophysics are the means by which planetary systems are assembled from the large rotating disks of gas and dust…
