Analysis of two-layer models for circumstellar disks

C.P. Dullemond and A. Natta

Two-layer models for passive protoplanetary disks, like the famous one by Chiang & Goldreich (1997), are very practical for interpreting SEDs of T Tauri stars, Herbig Ae/Be stars and Brown Dwarfs. In our paper "An analysis of two-layer models for circumstellar disks", we systematically investigate the reliability of this kind of simplified models by comparing them to detailed 1+1D models.
