نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the physical structure of protoplanetary disks by evaluating the gas density and temperature self-consistently and solving separately for the dust temperature. The effect of grain growth is taken into account by assuming a power-law size distribution and varying the maximum radius of grains a max. In our fiducial model with a max = 10µm, the gas is warmer than the dust in the surface layer of the disk, while the gas and dust have the same temperature in deeper layers. In the models with larger a max , the gas temperature in the surface layer is lower than in the fiducial model because of reduced photo-electric heating rates from small grains, while the deeper penetration of stellar radiation warms the gas at intermediate height. A detailed chemical reaction network is solved at outer radii (r ≥ 50 AU). Vertical distributions of some molecular species at different radii are similar, when plotted as a function of hydrogen column density Σ H from the disk surface. Consequently, molecular column densities do not much depend on disk radius. In the models with larger a max , the lower temperature in the surface layer makes the geometrical thickness of the disk smaller, and the gaseous molecules are confined to smaller heights. However, if we plot the vertical distributions of molecules as a function of Σ H , they do not significantly depend on a max. The dependence of the molecular column densities on a max is not significant, either. Notable exceptions are HCO + , H + 3 and H 2 D + , which have smaller column densities in the models with larger a max .

We have considered some results concerning gas and stars kinematics of nearby galaxies recently obtained on the SAO RAS 6m telescope using the panoramic spectroscopy methods. The circumnuclear regions of the galaxies were observed with integral-field spectrograph MPFS. The large-scale ionized gas kinematics was studied with the scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) in the multi-mode focal r...

Many clues about the galaxy assembly process lurk in the faint outer regions of galaxies. The low surface brightnesses of these parts pose a significant challenge for studies of diffuse light, and few robust constraints on galaxy formation models have been derived to date from this technique. Our group has pioneered the use of extremely wide-area star counts to quantitatively address the large-...
