Observational study of MBM12 shows CO-to-H2 conversion factor near galactic average with density-dependent variations, high virial parameters decreasing at small scales, broken power-law mass-size relations indicating external pressure, and magnetic field orientation transition at N(H2) = 4.5e21 cm-
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.
Giant planet formation traps dust in pressure bumps and planetesimal formation converts dust to larger bodies, making evolved disk masses appear low as a natural outcome of these processes, with models matching observations best for initial disk masses of 4-7% solar mass.
The paper reviews techniques for measuring protostellar accretion, analyzes methodological differences and caveats in comparing observations with simulations, and outlines next steps for a fuller picture.
