Description
To form giant planets in protoplanetary disk lifetime, small micron sized particles must grow rapidly to larger grains. A full understanding of that process requires a detailed characterization of the radial and vertical structure of the gas-rich disks associated with young pre-main sequence stars. Disks observed edge-on are of particular interest as they provide a unique perspective to unambiguously disentangle their vertical and radial dimensions. Here we present multi-wavelengths observations, from the near infrared to the centimeter, of the young edge-on protoplanetary disk IRAS04302+2247. We find that grains of 10s of microns are lifted up into the disk atmosphere, and that the large dust grains (~mm sized) are not significantly affected by vertical settling, in contrast to constraints from more evolved systems.
