Thermal Structure of Protoplanetary Disks

TL;DRAbstract

We discuss results of models of the thermal structure of steady accretion disks, irradiated by their central stars, in which dust sublimation, growth and settling are taken into account. The models are constrained by comparison with different observations of Classical T Tauri Stars with ages between 1 and 10 million years. The implications of these models for the interpretation of planetary data are also discussed.
