Warm gas at 50 AU in the disk around Herbig Be star HD 100546
M. Goto, G. van der Plas, M. van den Ancker +6
The disk atmosphere is one of the fundamental elements of theoretical models of a protoplanetary disk. However, the direct observation of the warm gas (>> 100 K) at large radius of…
Shape modeling technique KOALA validated by ESA Rosetta at (21) Lutetia
B. Carry, M. Kaasalainen, W. J. Merline +12
We present a comparison of our results from ground-based observations of asteroid (21) Lutetia with imaging data acquired during the flyby of the asteroid by the ESA Rosetta missio…
Galactic structure based on the ATLASGAL 870mum survey
H. Beuther, J. Tackenberg, H. Linz +11
The ATLASGAL 870mum continuum survey conducted with the APEX telescope is the first survey covering the whole inner Galactic plane (60deg>l>-60deg & b<1.5deg) in submm continuum em…
The onset of high-mass star formation in the direct vicinity of the galactic mini-starburst W43
H. Beuther, J. Tackenberg, H. Linz +10
Context: The earliest stages of high-mass star formation are still poorly characterized. It is also unknown whether the initial conditions vary with environment. Aims: We want to i…
High resolution imaging of young M-type stars of the solar neighborhood: Probing the existence of companions down to the mass of Jupiter
P. Delorme, A. M. Lagrange, G. Chauvin +5
Context. High contrast imaging is a powerful technique to search for gas giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting at separation larger than several AU. Around solar-type stars, gian…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
The Initial Mass Function of the Orion Nebula Cluster across the H-burning limit
Nicola Da Rio, Massimo Robberto, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +2
We present a new census of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) over a large field of view (>30'x30'), significantly increasing the known population of stellar and substellar cluster mem…
Grain charging in protoplanetary discs
Martin Ilgner
Recent work identified a growth barrier for dust coagulation that originates in the electric repulsion between colliding particles. Depending on its charge state, dust material may…
Trapping dust particles in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks
P. Pinilla, T. Birnstiel, L. Ricci +4
In order to explain grain growth to mm sized particles and their retention in outer regions of protoplanetary disks, as it is observed at sub-mm and mm wavelengths, we investigate…
MAGPHYS: a publicly available tool to interpret observed galaxy SEDs
Elisabete da Cunha, Stephane Charlot, Loretta Dunne +2
We present a simple, physically-motivated model to interpret consistently the emission from galaxies at ultraviolet, optical and infrared wavelengths. We combine this model with a…
Resolving the inner regions of the HD97048 circumstellar disk with VLT/NACO polarimetric differential imaging
Sascha P. Quanz, Stephan M. Birkmann, Daniel Apai +2
Circumstellar disks are the cradles of planetary systems and their physical and chemical properties directly influence the planet formation process. As most planets supposedly form…
Protostellar Outflow Heating in a Growing Massive Protocluster
Ke Wang, Qizhou Zhang, Yuefang Wu +2
The dense molecular clump P1 in the infrared dark cloud (IRDC) complex G28.34+0.06 harbors a massive protostellar cluster at its extreme youth. Our previous Submillimeter Array (SM…
Kepler-22b: A 2.4 Earth-radius Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Natalie Batalha +80
A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 da…
Herschel Far-Infrared and Sub-millimeter Photometry for the KINGFISH Sample of Nearby Galaxies
D. A. Dale, G. Aniano, C. W. Engelbracht +39
New far-infrared and sub-millimeter photometry from the Herschel Space Observatory is presented for 61 nearby galaxies from the Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Surv…
Looking for outflow and infall signatures in high mass star forming regions
P. D. Klaassen, L. Testi, H. Beuther
(Context) Many physical parameters change with time in star forming regions. Here we attempt to correlate changes in infall and outflow motions in high mass star forming regions wi…
MAGICC haloes: confronting simulations with observations of the circumgalactic medium at z=0
Greg Stinson, Chris Brook, J. Xavier Prochaska +8
We explore the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of two simulated star-forming galaxies with luminosities L ~ 0.1 and 1 L* generated using the smooth particle hydrodynamic code GASOLINE.…
Nonlinear Evolution of Cosmological Structures in Warm Dark Matter Models
Aurel Schneider, Robert E. Smith, Andrea V. Maccio +1
The dark energy dominated warm dark matter (WDM) model is a promising alternative cosmological scenario. We explore large-scale structure formation in this paradigm. We do this in…
The Aquila comparison Project: The Effects of Feedback and Numerical Methods on Simulations of Galaxy Formation
C. Scannapieco, M. Wadepuhl, O. H. Parry +20
We compare the results of thirteen cosmological gasdynamical codes used to simulate the formation of a galaxy in the LCDM structure formation paradigm. The various runs differ in t…
Understanding how planets become massive. I. Description and validation of a new toy model
Chris Ormel, Hiroshi Kobayashi
The formation of giant planets requires accumulation of ~10 Earth mass in solids; but how do protoplanets acquire their mass? There are many, often competing processes that regulat…
