Radial drift of dust in protoplanetary discs: the evolution of ice lines and dead zones
Abstract
We have developed a new model for the astrochemical structure of a viscously evolving protoplanetary disc that couples an analytic description of the disc's temperature and density profile, chemical evolution and an evolving dust distribution. We compute evolving radial distributions for a range of dust grain sizes, which depend on coagulation, fragmentation and radial drift processes. In particular, we find that the water ice line plays an …
