Disk survey in the Serpens star-forming region: Environmental effects in nearby star-forming regions
The external environment where protoplanetary disks are embedded regulates disk evolution.
The external environment where protoplanetary disks are embedded regulates disk evolution. External irradiation, which heats and evaporates gas, as well as frequent stellar encounters, which truncate disks, can reduce disk sizes and masses. Disk surveys in nearby star-forming…
