Statistical analysis of molecular line emission from T Tauri disk models

Abstract

In this work we model the expected emission from the molecular line C17O(J=3-2) in protoplanetary disks, modifying different physical parameters to obtain distinctive observational signatures. Our aim is to determine the kind of observations that will allow us to extract information about the physical parameters of disks. With this purpose we perform a statistical analysis of principal components and a multiple linear correlation on our set of results from the models. We also present prospects for future molecular line observations of protoplanetary disks using SMA and ALMA.
