About this document
Heat and Dust in Protostellar Disks by Camilo Rincon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the properties of the active layer in protostellar disks where accretion occurs. It recalculates the ionization balance in the active layer accounting for dust grains, using an updated chemical reaction network and grain physics model. Small dust grains strongly influence the ionization balance and can dramatically reduce the extent of the active layer where turbulence can drive accretion. The implications for thermal emission from the active layer are also considered, with molecular
