On the Origin of Dust Structures in Protoplanetary Disks: Constraints from the Rossby Wave Instability

High-resolution submillimeter observations of protoplanetary disks with ALMA have revealed that dust rings are common in large, bright disks. The leading explanation for these structures is dust trapping in a local gas pressure maximum, caused by an embedded planet or other dynamical process. Indepe...
