Four scenarios of disk evolution. (A) With M* = 1 M, B* = 0.44 kG, and P* = 3 days, M˙acc$\dot{M}_{\rm acc}$ exceeds M˙crit$\dot{M}_{\rm crit}$ at 2.3 Myr, Rmag retreats inside Rcor, an IDW ceases, and stellar X-rays open a disk gap. (B) In the case of a more rapidly rotating (P* = 2 days) star with a stronger (0.6 kG) field, M˙acc$\dot{M}_{\rm acc}$ never exceeds M˙crit$\dot{M}_{\rm crit}$ and no gap opens. (C) For a more slowly rotating (P* = 7 day) star, there is no IDW but lower LX and PE delays tgap to 5.7 Myr. (D) In the 0.3 M case, lower M˙acc$\dot{M}_{\rm acc}$ remains below M˙crit$\dot{M}_{\rm crit}$ for longer, delaying tgap to 13.3 Myr.
