What is the Mass of a Gap-Opening Planet?
Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung
High contrast imaging instruments such as GPI and SPHERE are discovering gap structures in protoplanetary disks at an ever faster pace. Some of these gaps may be opened by planets…
How Bright are Planet-Induced Spiral Arms in Scattered Light?
Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung
Recently, high angular resolution imaging instruments such as SPHERE and GPI have discovered many spiral-arm-like features in near-infrared scattered light images of protoplanetary…
Architecture design study and technology roadmap for the Planet Formation Imager (PFI)
John D. Monnier, Michael J. Ireland, Stefan Kraus +15
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) Project has formed a Technical Working Group (TWG) to explore possible facility architectures to meet the primary PFI science goal of imaging plan…
Stability and Occurrence Rate Constraints on the Planetary Sculpting Hypothesis for "Transitional" Disks
Ruobing Dong, Rebekah Dawson
Transitional disks, protoplanetary disks with deep and wide central gaps, may be the result of planetary sculpting. By comparing numerical planet-opening-gap models with observed g…
Circumstellar Disks of the Most Vigorously Accreting Young Stars
Hauyu Baobab Liu, Michihiro Takami, Tomoyuki Kudo +11
Young stellar objects (YSOs) may not accumulate their mass steadily, as was previously thought, but in a series of violent events manifesting themselves as sharp stellar brightenin…
How Spirals and Gaps Driven by Companions in Protoplanetary Disks Appear in Scattered Light at Arbitrary Viewing Angles
Ruobing Dong, Jeffrey Fung, Eugene Chiang
Direct imaging observations of protoplanetary disks at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths have revealed structures of potentially planetary origin. Investigations of observational sig…
