We derive hydrostatic, radiative equilibrium models for passive disks surrounding T Tauri stars. Each disk is encased by an optically thin layer of superheated dust grains. This layer re-emits directly to space about half the stellar energy it absorbs. The other half is emitted inward and regulates the interior temperature of the disk. The heated disk flares. As a consequence, it absorbs more stellar radiation, especially at large radii, than a flat disk would. The portion of the spectral energy distribution contributed by the disk is fairly flat throughout the thermal infrared. At fixed frequency, the contribution from the surface layer exceeds that from the interior by about a factor 3 and is emitted at more than an order of magnitude greater radius. Spectral features from dust grains in the superheated layer appear in emission if the disk is viewed nearly face-on.

Geometry of dust rings in protoplanetary disks: the case of LkCa 15
The 69 au dust ring in LkCa 15 is broad and thick at 0.88 mm and progressively narrower and thinner at 1.34 and 3.08 mm, implying a massive population of small grains alongside a more concentrated large-grain population.

SMA 200-400 GHz Survey for 10 faint Class II Disks in the Taurus Molecular Cloud
Faint Class II disks in Taurus show the same 198-358 GHz spectral index distribution as brighter disks, suggesting they too are optically thick at submillimeter wavelengths.

Warm Sub-Saturns Orbiting Single Stars Are Spin-Orbit Aligned
Warm sub-Saturns around single cool stars are predominantly aligned whereas hot sub-Saturns are frequently misaligned (3.2σ), a separation-dependent transition the authors attribute to high-eccentricity migration.

Interpreting the scattering surface in protoplanetary disks
Semi-analytical model links observed scattering-surface height to small-dust mass, yielding global mass fractions of order 10^{-3} consistent with modest grain growth in ten protoplanetary disks.

Extending dynamical mass measurements: probing GI as a possible origin of mm-dust spirals
Dynamical rotation-curve fits give M_disk ≈ 0.30 M_sun for HD 97048 and ≈ 0.21 M_sun for WaOph 6, and indicate disks with mm-dust spirals have systematically lower Toomre Q.

Planet formation at the inner edge of the dead zone II. Outbursts, rings, vortices, and suppression of planetesimal formation
2D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations find accretion outbursts unstable to Rossby-wave instability, forming vortices that suppress planetesimal formation until post-burst quiescence.
