Photoevaporation of circumstellar discs

In this thesis I investigate how discs around young stars, such as T Tauri stars (TTs), evolve, I concentrate on models which combine photoevaporation by ionizing radiation with viscous evolution of the disc, as previous work suggests that such models can reproduce the rapid disc dispersal seen in o...
