The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO). VIII. The Impact of External Photoevaporation on Disk Masses and Radii in Upper Scorpius by Rossella Anania, Giovanni P. Rosotti, Matías Gárate, Paola Pinilla, Miguel Vioque, Leon Trapman, John Carpenter, Ke Zhang, Ilaria Pascucci, Lucas A. Cieza, Anibal Sierra, Nicolas T. Kurtovic, James Miley, Laura M. Pérez, Benoît Tabone, Michiel Hogerheijde, Dingshan Deng, Carolina Agurto-Gangas, Dary A. Ruiz-Rodriguez, Camilo González-Ruilova, Estephani E. TorresVillanueva

“…We compare the disk masses and sizes resulting from 1D numerical viscous evolution simulations, in which the effect of external photoevaporation is included, to the values retrieved from the AGE-PRO observations. While the pure viscous framework fails in adequately explaining the observed disk properties in Upper Sco, with the inclusion of external photoevaporation, we can successfully reproduce gas disk sizes for seven out of 10 sources within a factor <2, when the initial disk mass is 1%–10% of the stellar mass. …”

“Oh FUors, Where Art Thou?”: A Search for Long-lasting Young Stellar Object Outbursts Hiding in Infrared Surveys by Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee, Gregory Herczeg, Doug Johnstone, Hanpu Liu, Philip W. Lucas, Zhen Guo, Michael A. Kuhn, Leigh C. Smith, Mizna Ashraf, Jessy Jose, Sung-Yong Yoon, Sung-Chul Yoon

“…Infrared spectroscopy of 20 candidates, from both the literature and obtained by our group, confirms that 18 YSOs are going through long-term outbursts and identifies two evolved sources as contaminants. The number of candidate FUors combined with previously measured values of the frequency of FUor outbursts yields average outburst decay times that are 2.5 times longer than the rise times. …”
