Abstract: This article is a tutorial on deriving physical properties from the spectral energy distributions of circumstellar disks. It includes a new derivation of disk mass from millimeter-wave flux density using recent disk model parameters. The energetics for most disks are dominated by radiative heating and cooling, and almost any spectral energy distribution may be understood from physically plausible models in the literature.
