Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of the water distribution in a viscous protoplanetary disk

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model which tracks how the distribution of water changes in an evolving disk as the waterbearing species experience condensation, accretion, transport, collisional destruction, and vaporization.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Steeper than Linear Disk Mass-Stellar Mass Scaling Relation

TL;DR: In this paper, an ALMA 887micron survey of the disk population around objects from 2 to 0.03Msun in the nearby 2Myr-old Chamaeleon I star-forming region is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Formation Conditions of Chondrules and Chondrites

TL;DR: It is shown that the abundance of the volatile element sodium remained relatively constant during chond rule formation, which explains many other chemical characteristics of chondrules and implies that chondrule and planetesimal formation were linked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outward Transport of High-Temperature Materials Around the Midplane of the Solar Nebula

TL;DR: A new two-dimensional model shows that outward transport of high-temperature materials in protoplanetary disks is a natural outcome of disk formation and evolution.
