Peering through the veil: Investigating protoplanetary disk outer edges using backside visibility
Simulations show that backside visibility in scattered light traces the outer edge shape of protoplanetary disks: sharply truncated disks reveal backsides at low inclinations, exponentially tapered disks hide them.
