Using Ice and Dust Lines to Constrain the Surface Densities of Protoplanetary Disks

We present a novel method for determining the surface density of protoplanetary disks through consideration of disk "dust lines," which indicate the observed disk radial scale at different observational wavelengths. This method relies on the assumption that the processes of particle growth...
