原行星盘的整体演化设定了行星形成的初始条件。然而，大多数模型聚焦于单个演化阶段，初始条件理想化，角动量传输和热力学的规定过于简化。我们提出了一个更现实的半二维（1 + 1D）模型，纳入了引力不稳定性（GI）、磁流体动力学（MHD）风、磁旋转不稳定性（MRI）、恒星辐射、自屏蔽和辐射传输。大规模磁通量的径向分布驱动了盘演化的两条不同路径。当垂直场在空间上均匀时，一个膨胀的、MRI加热的内边缘会遮蔽其外的盘，维持一个大质量、引力不稳定区域约100万年，并在几百万年里维持一个紧凑（约10天文单位）、寒冷（约10K）、低湍流（α_SS约10^-4）、高密度（Σ约300g/cm^2）、光学厚的储层，使得从毫米连续谱发射推断出的盘质量可能被大大低估。当场随中平面气体压力缩放时，它在内盘中驱动更强的传输并最终消除阴影，留下一个扩展的、张开的盘，其可观测质量紧密追踪真实质量。我们的结果将以GI为主的0/I类盘与MHD风驱动的II类盘联系起来，并指向三个更广泛的结论：（i）盘物理在空间和时间上强烈不均匀，因此恒定α处理忽略了基本物理；（ii）热力学起积极作用，自屏蔽同时维持GI并削弱MHD风；（iii）大规模磁通量的分布是关键不确定性，与阴影是否维持密切相关。这两条路径分别与紧凑、有阴影的盘和扩展、受辐射的盘的观测结果一致。
英文摘要
The global evolution of protoplanetary disks sets the initial conditions for planet formation. However, most models focus on individual evolutionary phases, with idealized initial conditions and oversimplified prescriptions for angular momentum transport and thermodynamics. We present a more realistic semi-two-dimensional ($1+1$D) model incorporating gravitational instability (GI), magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) winds, magneto-rotational instability (MRI), stellar irradiation, self-shadowing, and radiation transport. The radial distribution of large-scale magnetic flux drives two different pathways of disk evolution. When the vertical field is spatially uniform, a puffed-up, MRI-heated inner rim shadows the disk beyond it, sustaining a massive, gravitationally unstable region for $\sim 1$ Myr and, for several Myr, a compact ($\lesssim 10$ AU), cold ($\sim10$ K), low-turbulence ($α_\mathrm{SS}\sim10^{-4}$), high-density ($Σ\gtrsim300\,\mathrm{g\,cm^{-2}}$), optically thick reservoir, so that the disk mass inferred from mm-continuum emission can be greatly underestimated. When the field instead scales with midplane gas pressure, it drives stronger transport in the inner disk and eventually strips the shadow, leaving an extended, flared disk whose observable mass closely traces the true mass. Our results connect GI-dominated Class~0/I disks to MHD wind-driven Class~II disks, and point to three broader conclusions: (i) disk physics is strongly inhomogeneous in space and time, so constant-$α$ treatments miss essential physics; (ii) thermodynamics plays an active role, with self-shadowing simultaneously preserving GI and weakening MHD winds; and (iii) the distribution of large-scale magnetic flux is the key uncertainty, closely linked to whether the shadow is maintained. The two pathways align, respectively, with observations of compact, shadowed disks and extended, irradiated disks.
