Both observations of arc-like structures and luminosity bursts of stars > 1 Myr in age indicate that at least some stars undergo late infall events. We investigate scenarios of replenishing the mass reservoir around a star via capturing and infalling events of cloudlets. We carry out altogether 24 three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of cloudlet encounters with a Herbig star of mass 2.5 solar mass using the moving mesh code AREPO. To account for the two possibilities of a star or a cloudlet traveling through the interstellar medium (ISM), we put either the star or the cloudlet at rest with respect to the background gas. For absent cooling in the adiabatic runs, almost none of the cloudlet gas is captured due to high thermal pressure. However, second-generation disks easily form when accounting for cooling of the gas. The disk radii range from several 100 au to about 1000 au and associated arc-like structures up to 10 000 au in length form around the star for runs with and without stellar irradiation. Consistent with angular momentum conservation, the arcs and disks are larger for larger impact parameters. Accounting for turbulence in the cloudlet only mildly changes the model outcome. In the case of the star being at rest with the background gas, the disk formation and mass replenishment process is more pronounced and the associated arc-shaped streamers are longer-lived. The results of our models confirm that late encounter events lead to the formation of transitional disks associated with arc-shaped structures such as observed for AB Aurigae or HD 100546. In addition, we find that second-generation disks and their associated filamentary arms are longer lived (>100 000 yrs) in infall events, when the star is at rest with the background gas.
[Abridged] The infrared ro-vibrational emission lines from organic molecules in the inner regions of protoplanetary disks are unique probes of the physical and chemical structure of planet forming regions and the processes that shape them. The non-LT
The chemical composition of gas and ice in disks around young stars set the bulk composition of planets. In contrast to protoplanetary disks (Class II), young disks that are still embedded in their natal envelope (Class 0 and I) are predicted to be t
The evolution of protoplanetary disks is dominated by the conservation of angular momentum, where the accretion of material onto the central star is driven by viscous expansion of the outer disk or by disk winds extracting angular momentum without ch
We assess the ionising effect of low energy protostellar cosmic rays in protoplanetary disks around a young solar mass star for a wide range of disk parameters. We assume a source of low energy cosmic rays located close to the young star which travel
UV photochemistry in the surface layers of protoplanetary disks dramatically alters their composition relative to previous stages of star formation. The abundance ratio CN/HCN has long been proposed to trace the UV field in various astrophysical obje
