The Effect of Stellar Evolution on Dispersal of Protoplanetary Disks: Disk Fraction in Star-forming Regions by Ayano Komaki, Naoki Yoshida

“…For solar-mass stars, stellar evolution delays the disk dispersal time as the far-ultraviolet (FUV) luminosity decreases toward the main sequence. In the case of intermediate-mass stars, the FUV luminosity increases significantly over a few million years, driving strong photoevaporation and enhancing disk mass loss during the later stages of disk evolution. …”
