Measuring the Dust Masses of Protoplanetary Disks in Lupus with ALMA: Evidence That Disks Can Be Optically Thick at 3 mm
Accurate disk mass measurements are necessary to constrain disk evolution and the timescale of planet formation, but such measurements are difficult to make and are very dependent on assumptions. Here, we look at the assumption that the disk is optically thin at radio wavelengths and the effect of t...
