Scientific paper

We study the perturbation caused by a stellar companion on the potential of a T Tauri disk in the first-order approximation. We compute the resulting disk warp as a function of stellar and disk parameters in both cases of self-gravitating and accretion disks. We then calculate the radiative flux emitted by the warped disk, considering heating by both viscous accretion and reprocessing of stellar light. We predict that T Tauri stars with tidally warped circumstellar disks may display far-infrared and submillimetric radiative flux well in excess of that expected from flat circumstellar disks.
