A protoplanetary disk is a rotating circumstellar disc of dense gas and dust surrounding a young newly formed star, a T Tauri star, or Herbig Ae/Be star. The protoplanetary disk may not be considered an accretion disk; while the two are similar, an accretion disk is hotter and spins much faster. It is also found on black holes, not stars. This ...
HH-30 (also V1213 Tauri) is an edge-on protoplanetary disk that is surrounded by jets and a disk wind. [6] HH-30 is located in the dark cloud LDN 1551 in the Taurus Molecular Cloud . The HH-30 disk is the prototype of an edge-on disk, [ 2 ] due to its early discovery with Hubble .
This is a list of circumstellar disks that have published resolved images. Many of them are protoplanetary disks or debris disks. Only some are transitional disks between protoplanetary and debris. A few disks in this list are circumbinary disks.
Radial drift is a process by which dust particles migrates in Protoplanetary disks during the formation of planetesimals.It involves the motion of solid particles within the gas-dominated environment surrounding a young star and is crucial to understanding the formation of planets from protoplanetary disks.
This study also found that the disk is surrounded by a large "foot-like" structure seen in H-alpha. [5] This "foot-like" structure could however belong to the Herbig-Haro object HH 530, which is located just north of proplyd 114-426. [7] The disk was imaged with ALMA and the disk mass was estimated to be 3.38 ±0.56 M J. [8]
A planetesimal is an object formed from dust, rock, and other materials, measuring from meters to hundreds of kilometers in size. According to the Chamberlin–Moulton planetesimal hypothesis and the theories of Viktor Safronov, a protoplanetary disk of materials such as gas and dust would orbit a star early in the formation of a planetary system.

Debris disks detected in HST archival images of young stars, HD 141943 and HD 191089, using improved imaging processes (24 April 2014).

Planetesimals (/ ˌ p l æ n ɪ ˈ t ɛ s ɪ m əl z /) are solid objects thought to exist in protoplanetary disks and debris disks.
