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…

The interplay between forming planets and photoevaporating discs II: Wind-driven gas redistribution

Michael L. Weber, Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano

Disc winds and planet-disc interactions are two crucial mechanisms that define the structure, evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary discs. While winds are capable of removing m…

GIARPS High-resolution Observations of T Tauri stars (GHOST) V. New insights into disk winds from 3 km/s resolution observations

Brunella Nisini, Manuele Gangi, Teresa Giannini +6

This paper aims at revisit the physical and dynamical properties of the warm atomic gas in the inner disk region of classical T Tauri stars (CTTs) and relate them to the properties…

High-resolution [OI] line spectral mapping of TW Hya consistent with X-ray driven photoevaporation

Ch. Rab, M. Weber, G. Picogna +2

Theoretical models indicate that photoevaporative and magnetothermal winds play a crucial role in the evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks and affect the formation of pl…
