Magnetic disk winds in protoplanetary disks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Context. Canonically, a protoplanetary disk is thought to undergo (gravito-)viscous evolution wherein the angular momentum of the accreting material is transported outward. However, several lines of reasoning suggest that the turbulent viscosity in a typical protoplanetary disk is insufficient to drive the observed accretion rates. An emerging paradigm suggests that radially extended magnetic disk winds, which transport angular momentum vertically, may play a crucial role in disk evolution. Aims. We propose a global model of magnetic wind-driven accretion for the evolution of protoplanetary disks in the thin-disk limit based on the insights gained from local shearing box simulations. In this paper, we aim to develop this model and constrain the model parameters with the help of theoretical expectations and through comparison with observations. Methods. The magnetic wind is characterized with the associated loss of angular momentum and mass, and we modeled these with fitting formulae that depend on the local disk conditions and stellar properties. We incorporated the disk winds self-consistently in the numerical magnetohydrodynamic code FEOSAD and studied the formation and long-term evolution of protoplanetary disks. We included disk self-gravity and an adaptive turbulent α that depends on the local ionization balance, while the co-evolution of a two-part dusty component was also considered. We obtained synthetic observations via detailed modeling with the radiation thermo-chemical code P RO D I M O . Results. The models that include disk winds satisfy the general expectations from both theory and observations. The disk wind parameters can be guided by observational constraints, and the synthetic observations resulting from such a model compare favorably with the selected ALMA survey data of Class II disks. The proposed magnetic disk wind model is a significant step forward in the direction of representing a more complete disk evolution, wherein the disk experiences concurrent torques from viscous, gravitational, and magnetic wind processes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
