Abstract

We have made a detailed model of the physical structure of protoplanetary disks, taking into account X-ray and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation from a central star, as well as dust size growth and settling towards the disk midplane. Also, we calculate the level populations and line emission of molecular hydrogen from the disks, which shows that the dust evolution changes the physical properties of the disk, and then the line ratios of the molecular hydrogen emission.
