Long-term evolution of protoplanetary disk using 1D simulation

Recent improvements in observational techniques have made it possible to observe the detailed structure of protoplanetary disks. For instance, ring and gap structures have been discovered in disks around Class II objects by ALMA telescope observations. These structures are considered evidence of planet formation and are crucial for investigating when and how planets form.

On the other hand, according to theory, magnetic fields play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of protoplanetary disks. It has been investigated, mainly using 3D magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations [Machida et al. (2011); Tomida et al. (2015); Masson et al.(2016); Tsukamoto et al.(2017); Wurster and Bate (2019)].
