Invited Presentation
Magnetized Protoplanetary Disks
Presenter: Susana Lizano (IRyA, UNAM)
Protoplanetary disks are expected to form as a result of the gravitational collapse of magnetized rotating dense cores. I will discuss the structure and emission of models of magnetized accretion disks irradiated by the central star expected to form in this process. The mass-to-flux ratio is a critical parameter for their structure. This ratio will be determined observationally in the near future with radio interferometers like ALMA and VLA. I will also discuss the modeling of millimeter observations of the disk around the young star HL Tau.
