TLDR
In this paper, a survey for 1.3 mm radiation toward 86 stars in the Taurus-Auriga dark clouds, including classical T Tauri stars, stars in T associations, and a few weak emission-line stars or naked T-Tauri stars was conducted.Abstract:
Results are presented from a survey for 1.3 mm radiation toward 86 stars in the Taurus-Auriga dark clouds, including classical T Tauri stars, stars in T associations, and a few weak emission-line stars or naked T Tauri stars. The results show that 42 percent of the stars have detectable emission from small particles. The aggregate particle masses are found to be between 0.00001 and 0.01 solar mass, suggesting total disk masses between 0.001 and 1 solar mass. For several source between 1.3 and 2.7 mm, the spectral indices indicate that the particle emissivities are weaker functions of frequency, compared to the usual case of interstellar grains. Particle growth via adhesion in the dense disks is proposed to explain this result. The results show that disks more massive than the minimum mass of the protosolar system commonly accompany the birth of solar-mass stars, indicating that planetary systems are probably common in the Galaxy. 59 refs.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive hydrostatic, radiative equilibrium models for passive disks surrounding T Tauri stars, where each disk is encased by an optically thin layer of superheated dust grains.

Orbital migration of the planetary companion of 51 Pegasi to its present location
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that if the companion is indeed a gas-giant planet, it is extremely unlikely to have formed at its present location, and suggest instead that the planet probably formed by gradual accretion of solids and capture of gas at a much larger distance from the star (∼5 AU), and that it subsequently migrated inwards through interactions with the remnants of the circumstellar disk.
