X-Shooter survey of 127 Upper Scorpius disks finds no correlation between accretion rate and disk dust mass or gas radius, with increased dispersion versus younger regions suggesting inner-outer disk decoupling.

abstract
Over the past two decades, large strides have been made in the field of planet formation. Yet fundamental questions remain. Here we review our state of understanding of five fundamental bottlenecks in planet formation. These are: 1) the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks; 2) the growth of the first planetesimals; 3) orbital migration driven by interactions between proto-planets and gaseous disk; 4) the origin of the Solar System's orbital architecture; and 5) the relationship between observed super-Earths and our own terrestrial planets. Given our lack of understanding of these issues, even the most successful formation models remain on shaky ground.

X-Shooter survey of disk accretion in Upper Scorpius II. A lack of correlation between accretion rates and disk properties
X-Shooter survey of 127 Upper Scorpius disks finds no correlation between accretion rate and disk dust mass or gas radius, with increased dispersion versus younger regions suggesting inner-outer disk decoupling.
