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…
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…
The interplay between forming planets and photo-evaporating discs I: Forbidden line diagnostics
Michael L. Weber, Barbara Ercolano, Giovanni Picogna +1
Disc winds and planet formation are considered to be two of the most important mechanisms that drive the evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary discs and in turn define the envi…
Testing photoevaporation and MHD disk wind models through future high-angular resolution radio observations: the case of TW Hydrae
Luca Ricci, Sarah Harter, Barbara Ercolano +1
We present theoretical predictions for the free-free emission at cm wavelengths obtained from photoevaporation and MHD wind disk models adjusted to the case of the TW Hydrae young…
