DiskMINT-GARDEN: Self-consistent Models to Estimate Disk Masses

Published 24 Jun 2026 in astro-ph.EP, astro-ph.GA, astro-ph.IM, and astro-ph.SR | (2606.26332v1)

Abstract: We present DiskMINT-GARDEN, a grid of self-consistent models together with a fast, open source inference tool for disk masses. The grid is built on DiskMINT, a tool which couples hydrostatic disk structure, continuum/line radiative transfer, and a reduced CO chemical network including freeze-out, grain-surface conversion, and isotope-selective photodissociation. DiskMINT-GARDEN model grid spans a large range of stellar mass (0.1−2.0 M⊙0.1-2.0\,M_\odot), gas disk mass (10<sup>−5−10<sup>−1 M⋆10<sup>{-5}-10<sup>{-1}\,M_\star), dust-to-gas ratio ($0.003-0.1$), and characteristic radius (10−300 au10-300\,{\rm au}), and provides synthetic ALMA observables. We train a machine-learning regression model to infer the disk mass, dust-to-gas mass ratio, and disk size from the dust continuum and C<sup>18O\mathrm{C<sup>{18}O} line observations. Applying DiskMINT-GARDEN to archival ALMA data of 34 disks, we find gas masses in good agreement with dynamical and HD-based estimates. Comparing our results with estimates from chemical modeling using DALI, we find that their need for large-scale elemental or CO depletion can be accounted for by grain-surface chemistry implemented in DiskMINT, with CO conversion to CO2_2 being one of the main reactions. Therefore, extant data suggest little chemical processing due to disk evolutionary processes.
