Abstract

In this article we introduce methods used to determine the gas and dust masses of protoplanetary disks, with an emphasis on the lesser characterized total gas mass . Our review encompasses all the indirect tracers and the methodology that is being used to isolate the hidden H2 via dust, CO, and HD emission . We discuss the overall calibration of gaseous tracers which is based on decades of study of the dense phases of the interstellar medium . At present, disk gas masses determined via CO and HD are (in a few instances) different by orders of magnitude, hinting at either significant evolution in total disk mass or in the CO abundance . Either of these would represent a fundamental physical or chemical process that appears to dominate the system on ∼ million year timescales. Efforts to reconcile these differences using existing and future facilities are discussed.

    This assumes a standard galactic extinction curve as the calibration is strictly using E(B-V).
