Day 3, Topic 3:
Irradiated protoplanetary disks
Lecture by: C.P. Dullemond
Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs)Plotting normal flux makes it look as if the source emits much more infrared radiation than optical radiation:
This is because energy is:
€
Fν dν = Fν Δν
Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs)Typically one can say: and one takes a constant (independent of ).
€
Δ = Δ(logν )
€
Δ(logν )
€
FνIn that case is the relevant quantity to denote energy per interval in log. NOTE:
€
Fν ≡ λ Fλ
Calculating the SED from a flat disk
€
Iν (r) = Bν (T(r))
Assume here for simplicity that disk is vertically isothermal: the disk emits therefore locally as a black radiator.
Now take an annulus of radius r and width dr. On the sky of the observer it covers:
€
dΩ =2π rdr
d2cosi
€
Fν = Iν dΩand flux is:
Total flux observed is then:

Disk with finite optical depth
If disk is not very optically thick, then:
Multi-color part stays roughly the same, because of energy conservation
Rayleigh-Jeans part modified by slope of opacity. Suppose that this slope is:
€
κ ∝
€
Iν (r) = (1− eτν )Bν ≈ τ ν Bν ∝κ ν Bν
Then the observed intensity and flux become:
€
Fν ∝κ ν ν Bν ∝ν 3+β

Flaring geometry:
Remark: in general χ is not a constant (it decreases with r). The flaring is typically <9/7
The surface layer
A dust grain in (above) the surface of the disk sees the direct stellar light. Is therefore much hotter than the interior of the disk.

The surface layer again...
Disk therefore has a hot surface layer which absorbs all stellar radiation.
Half of it is re-emitted upward (and escapes); half of it is re-emitted downward (and heats the interior of the disk).

Measuring grain sizes in disks
van Boekel et al. 2003
The 10 micron silicate feature shape depends strongly on grain size. Observations show precisely these effects. Evidence of grain growth.

van Boekel et al. 2004
Probing larger grains in disksAt (sub-)millimeter wavelength one can measure opacity slope (remember!). But first need to make sure that the disk is optically thin.
A measured flux, if F~ 3, can come from a blackbody disk surface.
Measure size of disk with (sub-)millimeter interferometry. If disk larger than that, then disk must be optically thin. A slope of F~ 3 then definitely point to large (cm) sized grains!
Evidence for large grains found in many sources. Example:CQ Tau (Testi et al.)
Probinging the shape of disks
We have sources with weak mid/far-IR flux, and sources with strong mid/far-IR flux. One of the ideas is that disk can be self-shadowed to obtain weak mid/far-IR flux.
Disk starts as flaring disk: strong mid/far-IR flux. Few big grains produced.
As disk gets older: part of dust converted into big grains. Disk loses opacity, falls into own shadow. Many big grains observable at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths.
Probinging the shape of disks
Acke et al. 2004 looked for such a correlation, and indeed found it:
