We compare line emission calculated from theoretical disk models with optical to submillimeter wavelength observational data of the gas disk surrounding TW Hya and infer the spatial distribution of mass in the gas disk. The model disk that best matches observations has a gas mass ranging from ∼10−4 to 10−5 M☉ for 0.06 AU 13.6 eV) flux from TW Hya. H2 pure rotational line emission comes primarily from r ∼ 1 to 30 AU. [O i] 63 μm, HCO+, and CO pure rotational lines all arise from the outer disk at r ∼ 30–120 AU. We discuss planet formation and photoevaporation as causes for the decrease in surface density of gas and dust inside 4 AU. If a planet is present, our results suggest a planet mass ∼4–7 MJ situated at ∼3 AU. Using our photoevaporation models and the best surface density profile match to observations, we estimate a current photoevaporative mass loss rate of 4 × 10−9 M☉ yr−1 and a remaining disk lifetime of ∼5 million years.
