High-energy irradiation of the circumstellar material might impact the structure and the composition of a protoplanetary disk and hence the process of planet formation. In this paper, we present a study on the possible influence of the stellar irradiation, indicated by X-ray emission, on the crystalline structure of the circumstellar dust. The dust crystallinity is measured for 42 class II T Tauri stars in the Taurus star-forming region using a decomposition fit of the 10 micron silicate feature, measured with the Spitzer IRS instrument. Since the sample includes objects with disks of various evolutionary stages, we further confine the target selection, using the age of the objects as a selection parameter. We correlate the X-ray luminosity and the X-ray hardness of the central object with the crystalline mass fraction of the circumstellar dust and find a significant anti-correlation for 20 objects within an age range of approx. 1 to 4.5 Myr. We postulate that X-rays represent the stellar activity and consequently the energetic ions of the stellar winds which interact with the circumstellar disk. We show that the fluxes around 1 AU and ion energies of the present solar wind are sufficient to amorphize the upper layer of dust grains very efficiently, leading to an observable reduction of the crystalline mass fraction of the circumstellar, sub-micron sized dust. This effect could also erase other relations between crystallinity and disk/star parameters such as age or spectral type.

Aims and Methods. Accretion bursts triggered by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in the innermost disk regions were studied for protoplanetary gas-dust disks formed from prestellar cores of various mass $M_{rm core}$ and mass-to-magnetic flux
ratio $lambda$. Numerical magnetohydrodynamics simulations in the thin-disk limit were employed to study the long-term ($sim 1.0$~Myr) evolution of protoplanetary disks with an adaptive turbulent $alpha$-parameter, which depends explicitly on the strength of the magnetic field and ionization fraction in the disk. The numerical models also feature the co-evolution of gas and dust, including the back-reaction of dust on gas and dust growth. Results. Dead zone with a low ionization fraction $x <= 10^{-13}$ and temperature on the order of several hundred Kelvin forms in the inner disk soon after its formation, extending from several to several tens of astronomical units depending on the model. The dead zone features pronounced dust rings that are formed due to the concentration of grown dust particles in the local pressure maxima. Thermal ionization of alkaline metals in the dead zone trigger the MRI and associated accretion burst, which is characterized by a sharp rise, small-scale variability in the active phase, and fast decline once the inner MRI-active region is depleted of matter. The burst occurrence frequency is highest in the initial stages of disk formation, and is driven by gravitational instability (GI), but declines with diminishing disk mass-loading from the infalling envelope. There is a causal link between the initial burst activity and the strength of GI in the disk fueled by mass infall from the envelope. Abridged.
Planet formation is thought to begin with the growth of dust particles in protoplanetary disks from micrometer to millimeter and centimeter sizes. Dust growth is hindered by a number of growth barriers, according to dust evolution theory, while obser
vational evidence indicates that somehow these barriers must have been overcome. The observational evidence of dust traps, in particular the Oph IRS 48 disk, with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has changed our view of the dust growth process. In this article I review the history of dust trapping in models and observations.
Consistent modeling of protoplanetary disks requires the simultaneous solution of both continuum and line radiative transfer, heating/cooling balance between dust and gas and, of course, chemistry. Such models depend on panchromatic observations that
can provide a complete description of the physical and chemical properties and energy balance of protoplanetary systems. Along these lines we present a homogeneous, panchromatic collection of data on a sample of 85 T Tauri and Herbig Ae objects for which data cover a range from X-rays to centimeter wavelengths. Datasets consist of photometric measurements, spectra, along with results from the data analysis such as line fluxes from atomic and molecular transitions. Additional properties resulting from modeling of the sources such as disc mass and shape parameters. dust size and PAH properties are also provided for completeness. Targets were selected based on their properties data availability. Data from more than 50 different telescopes and facilities were retrieved and combined in homogeneous datasets directly from public data archives or after being extracted from more than 100 published articles. X-ray data for a subset of 56 sources represent an exception as they were reduced from scratch and are presented here for the first time. Compiled datasets along with a subset of continuum and emission-line models are stored in a dedicated database and distributed through a publicly accessible online system. All datasets contain metadata descriptors that allow to backtrack them to their original resources. The graphical user interface of the online system allows the user to visually inspect individual objects but also compare between datasets and models. It also offers to the user the possibility to download any of the stored data and metadata for further processing.
We investigate the behaviour of dust in protoplanetary disks under the action of gas drag using our 3D, two-fluid (gas+dust) SPH code. We present the evolution of the dust spatial distribution in global simulations of planetless disks as well as of d
isks containing an already formed planet. The resulting dust structures vary strongly with particle size and planetary gaps are much sharper than in the gas phase, making them easier to detect with ALMA than anticipated. We also find that there is a range of masses where a planet can open a gap in the dust layer whereas it doesnt in the gas disk. Our dust distributions are fed to the radiative transfer code MCFOST to compute synthetic images, in order to derive constraints on the settling and growth of dust grains in observed disks.
This review introduces physical processes in protoplanetary disks relevant to accretion and the initial stages of planet formation. After a brief overview of the observational context, I introduce the elementary theory of disk structure and evolution
, review the gas-phase physics of angular momentum transport through turbulence and disk winds, and discuss possible origins for the episodic accretion observed in Young Stellar Objects. Turning to solids, I review the evolution of single particles under aerodynamic forces, and describe the conditions necessary for the development of collective gas-particle instabilities. Observations show that disks can exhibit pronounced large-scale structure, and I discuss the types of structures that may form from gas and particle interactions at ice lines, vortices and zonal flows, prior to the formation of large planetary bodies. I conclude with disk dispersal.
