Scientific paper

Strong X-ray irradiation from young stars can heat and ionize the gas at the surface of protoplanetary disks, thereby affecting physical models for accretion and for disk dissipation. I review the observational evidence for warm X-ray-irradiated disks, including emission in lines of [Ne II], H2, and CO. I then discuss these lines in the context of irradiated disk models and describe how Herschel can be used to test such models.
