Timescales of our reference model (cf. Table 2) relevant to the long-term evolution of a PPD and a large-scale magnetic field. The solid blue, orange, and green lines correspond to the viscous timescale, tvisc; the dynamical timescale, tdyn; and the magnetic diffusion timescale, tdiff, respectively. The vertical, dashed black lines correspond to the corotation radius, Rcor, and the outer DZ boundary, rDZ, out. Finally, the gray area marks the region between 1 Myr and 4 Myrs and depicts the expected lifetime of a PPD.
