The origin of the reservoirs of water on Earth is debated. The Earths crust may contain at least three times more water than the oceans. This crust water is found in the form of phyllosilicates, whose origin probably differs from that of the oceans. We test the possibility to form phyllosilicates in protoplanetary disks, which can be the building blocks of terrestrial planets. We developed an exploratory rate-based warm surface chemistry model where water from the gas-phase can chemisorb on dust grain surfaces and subsequently diffuse into the silicate cores. We apply the phyllosilicate formation model to a zero-dimensional chemical model and to a 2D protoplanetary disk model (ProDiMo). The disk model includes in addition to the cold and warm surface chemistry continuum and line radiative transfer, photoprocesses (photodissociation, photoionization, and photodesorption), gas-phase cold and warm chemistry including three-body reactions, and detailed thermal balance. Despite the high energy barrier for water chemisorption on silicate grain surfaces and for diffusion into the core, the chemisorption sites at the surfaces can be occupied by a hydroxyl bond (-OH) at all gas and dust temperatures from 80 to 700 K for a gas density of 2E4 cm^-3. The chemisorption sites in the silicate cores are occupied at temperatures between 250 and 700 K. At higher temperatures thermal desorption of chemisorbed water occurs. The occupation efficiency is only limited by the maximum water uptake of the silicate. The timescales for complete hydration are at most 1E5 years for 1 mm radius grains at a gas density of 1E8 cm^-3. Phyllosilicates can be formed on dust grains at the dust coagulation stage in protoplanetary disks within 1 Myr. It is however not clear whether the amount of phyllosilicate formed by warm surface chemistry is sufficient compared to that found in Solar System objects.

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is the main constituent of the gas in the planet-forming disks that surround many PMS stars. H2 can be incorporated in the atmosphere of the giant planets. HD has been detected in a few disks and can be considered the most rel iable tracer of H2. We wish to form H2 and HD efficiently for the varied conditions encountered in protoplanetary disks: the densities vary from 1E4 to 1E16 cm^-3; the dust temperatures range from 5 to 1500 K, the gas temperatures go from 5 to a few 1000 Kelvin, and the ultraviolet field can be 1E7 stronger than the standard interstellar field. We implemented a comprehensive model of H2 and HD formation on cold and warm grain surfaces and via hydrogenated PAHs in the physico-chemical code ProDiMo. The H2 and HD formation can proceed via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Ridel mechanisms for physisorbed or chemisorbed H (D) atoms. H2 and HD also form by H (D) abstraction from hydrogenated neutral and ionised PAHs and via gas phase reactions. H2 and HD are formed efficiently on dust grain surfaces from 10 to 700 K. All the deuterium is converted into HD in UV shielded regions as soon as H2 is formed by gas-phase D abstraction reactions. The detailed model compares well with standard analytical prescriptions for H2 (HD) formation. At low temperatures, H2 is formed from the encounter of two physisorbed atoms. HD molecules form on the grain surfaces and in the gas-phase. At temperatures greater than 20 K, the meeting between a weakly bound H- (or D-) atom or a gas-phase H (D) atom and a chemisorbed atom is the most efficient H2 formation route. H2 formation through hydrogenated PAHs alone is efficient above 80 K. The contribution of hydrogenated PAHs to the overall H2 and HD formation is relatively low if chemisorption on silicate is taken into account and if a small hydrogen abstraction cross-section is used.

We study the effects of grain surface reactions on the chemistry of protoplanetary disks where gas, ice surface layers and icy mantles of dust grains are considered as three distinct phases. Gas phase and grain surface chemistry is found to be mainly driven by photo-reactions and dust temperature gradients. The icy disk interior has three distinct chemical regions: (i) the inner midplane with low FUV fluxes and warm dust ($gtrsim 15$K) that lead to the formation of complex organic molecules, (ii) the outer midplane with higher FUV from the ISM and cold dust where hydrogenation reactions dominate and, (iii) a molecular layer above the midplane but below the water condensation front where photodissociation of ices affects gas phase compositions. Some common radicals, e.g., CN and C$_2$H, exhibit a two-layered vertical structure and are abundant near the CO photodissociation front and near the water condensation front. The 3-phase approximation in general leads to lower vertical column densities than 2-phase models for many gas-phase molecules due to reduced desorption, e.g., H$_2$O, CO$_2$, HCN and HCOOH decrease by $sim$ two orders of magnitude. Finally, we find that many observed gas phase species originate near the water condensation front; photo-processes determine their column densities which do not vary significantly with key disk properties such as mass and dust/gas ratio.
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 irradi ation, 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.
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.

We have investigated molecular distributions in protoplanetary disks, adopting a disk model with a temperature gradient in the vertical direction. The model produces sufficiently high abundances of gaseous CO and HCO+ to account for line observations of T Tauri stars using a sticking probability of unity and without assuming any non-thermal desorption. In regions of radius R > 10 AU, with which we are concerned, the temperature increases with increasing height from the midplane. In a warm intermediate layer, there are significant amounts of gaseous molecules owing to thermal desorption and efficient shielding of ultraviolet radiation by the flared disk. The column densities of HCN, CN, CS, H2CO, HNC and HCO+ obtained from our model are in good agreement with the observations of DM Tau, but are smaller than those of LkCa15. Molecular line profiles from our disk models are calculated using a 2-dimensional non-local-thermal-equilibrium (NLTE) molecular-line radiative transfer code for a direct comparison with observations. Deuterated species are included in our chemical model. The molecular D/H ratios in the model are in reasonable agreement with those observed in protoplanetary disks.
