Common analytic approximations underestimate protoplanetary disk millimeter continuum emission by 10-15%, causing overestimates of optical depth, mass, and temperature in SED analyses.
Scattered-light ring heights trace the tau~1 surface and, combined with CO temperature maps, yield small-dust mass fractions near 10^-3 in ten protoplanetary disks.
ALMA observations of 100 Ophiuchus discs show substructures linked to giant planet formation are common in discs above 10 Earth masses of dust and increase from Class I to Class II stages.
Halos in Elias 2-24, IM Lup, and DM Tau hold 20-30% of total dust mass with cm-sized grains, helping resolve the disk mass-budget problem even though drift and growth timescales are shorter than disk ages.
ALMA observed 3933 independent coordinates in nearby star-forming regions for disks and planet formation, analyzed by sky location, frequency coverage, exposure time, spectral lines, and angular resolution.
