The ionization fraction in alpha-models of protoplanetary disks
We calculate the ionization fraction of protostellar alpha disks, taking into account vertical temperature structure, and the possible presence of trace metal atoms. Both thermal and X-ray ionization are considered. Previous investigations of layered disks used radial power-law models with isotherma...
