Paper: The Role of Opacities in Calculating the Structure and Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks
Volume: 515, Workshop on Astrophysical Opacities

Abstract: The most important heating agent of protoplanetary disks is absorption of radiation arising in the very active stellar atmosphere and in the accretion flows onto the star. Here, I give a brief review of the opacity mechanisms important in disks and of their current treatment.
