Proto-Planetary Disks: a primer and open questions
Yanqin Wu (University of Toronto) 鈥� February 5, 2025
Abstract
I will first derive the most basic aspect of a proto-planetary disk, its temperature. I will then expand to various applications of this property, on the way giving the audience an overview of the field and its many open questions. I will end with one aspect that鈥檚 most fascinating to me, how to make rings and gaps in such a disk.
