chemistry

- disk masses: 10-4 - 0.01 M Sun

- elemental abundances: molecular cloud abundances

- optical properties of dust grains: single 'mean' grain size

- dust temperature: radiative equilibrium

- gas-to-dust mass ratio: variable

- UV radiation fields: interstellar radiation field, photospheric radiation field, photosphere+chromosphere

Interface disk-remnant gas

- warm H2 present in disk surface

layers (thermally excited, Tex~ few 100 K)

- warm surface contains observable molecules such as e.g. CO, CH, OH

Evaporation of the surfaceEvaporation of the surface

- Gas densities are high enough to couple H to the remaining species

- Disk surface evaporates inside of ~50 AU verify with fully self-consistent disk models
