Influence of grain growth on the thermal structure of inner protoplanetary discs
Intresset för att studera protoplanetära diskar har ökat inom forskarvärlden i och med de observationer av dem som har gjorts de senaste åren. Observatoriet Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) i Chile har observerat flertalet protoplanetära diskar i enastående detalj. Dessa observationer har motiverat forskare till ytterligare teoretiska studier av protoplanetära diskar och deras dynamiska utvecProtoplanetary discs surround young stars for the first few million years after their formation and they are the birthplaces of planetary systems. The thermal structure of the discs is regulated by their dust content and the opacity that it provides. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect grain growth has on the structure of the protoplanetary discs. Hydrodynamical simulations have b
