Detailed Radial Scale Height Profile of Dust Grains as Probed by Dust Self-scattering in HL Tau

The vertical settling of dust grains in a circumstellar disk, characterized by their scale height, is a pivotal process in the formation of planets. This study offers in-depth analysis and modeling of the radial scale height profile of dust grains in the HL Tau system, leveraging high-resolution pol...
