UV-controlled physical and chemical structure of protoplanetary disks

Earth and Planetary Astrophysics 2015-05-27 v2

Abstract

We study details of the UV radiation transfer in a protoplanetary disk, paying attention to the influence of dust growth and sedimentation on the disk density and temperature. Also, we show how the dust evolution affects photoreaction rates of key molecules, like CN and CS.
