Substructures in PPDs, whose ubiquity was unveiled by recent ALMA observations, are widely discussed regarding their possible origins. We carry out global full magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations in axisymmetry, coupled with self-consistent ray-tracing radiative transfer, thermochemistry, and non-ideal MHD diffusivities. The abundance profiles of grains are also calculated based on the global dust evolution calculation, including sintering effects. We found that dust size plays a crucial role in the ring formation around the snow lines of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) through the accretion process. Disk ionization structures and thus tensorial conductivities depend on the size of grains.When grains are significantly larger than PAHs, the non-ideal MHD conductivities change dramatically across each snow line of major volatiles, leading to a sudden change of the accretion process across the snow lines and the subsequent formation of gaseous rings/gaps there. On the other hand,the variations of conductivities are a lot less with only PAH sized grains in disks and then these disks retain smoother radial density profiles across snow lines.
The characterization of exoplanets and their birth protoplanetary disks has enormously advanced in the last decade. Benefitting from that, our global understanding of the planet formation processes has been substantially improved. In this review, we
Turbulence is the dominant source of collisional velocities for grains with a wide range of sizes in protoplanetary disks. So far, only Kolmogorov turbulence has been considered for calculating grain collisional velocities, despite the evidence that
Grain surface chemistry is key to the composition of protoplanetary disks around young stars. The temperature of grains depends on their size. We evaluate the impact of this temperature dependence on the disk chemistry. We model a moderately massive
We compute the desorption rate of icy mantles on dust grains as a function of the size and composition of both the grain and the mantle. We combine existing models of cosmic ray (CR) related desorption phenomena with a model of CR transport to accura
Despite its potential reactivity due to ring strain, ethylene oxide (c-C2H4O) is a complex molecule that seems to be stable under the physical conditions of an interstellar dense core; indeed it has been detected towards several high-mass star formin
