Recurring Activity Discovered on Quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118
William J. Oldroyd, Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo +10
We have discovered two epochs of activity on quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118. Small bodies that display comet-like activity, such as active asteroids and active quasi-Hildas, are important…
Filament formation due to diffusive instabilities in dusty protoplanetary disks
Konstantin Gerbig, Min-Kai Lin, Marius Lehmann
We report the finding of a new, local diffusion instability in a protoplanetary disk, which can operate in a dust fluid, subject to mass diffusion, shear viscosity, and dust-gas dr…
Sudden extreme obscuration of a Sun-like main-sequence star: evolution of the circumstellar dust around ASASSN-21qj
Jonathan P. Marshall, Steve Ertel, Francisca Kemper +6
ASASSN-21qj is a distant Sun-like star that recently began an episode of deep dimming events after no prior recorded variability. Here we examine archival and newly obtained optica…
The hot main Kuiper belt size distribution from OSSOS

Jinshi Sai, Hsi-Wei Yen, Nagayoshi Ohashi +25
We have observed the Class 0/I protostellar system Ced110 IRS4 at an angular resolution of (10 au) as a part of the ALMA large program; Early Planet Formation in the…
Spirals and clumps in V960 Mon: signs of planet formation via gravitational instability around an FU Ori star?
P. Weber, S. Pérez, A. Zurlo +11
The formation of giant planets has traditionally been divided into two pathways: core accretion and gravitational instability. However, in recent years, gravitational instability h…
UV Spectral Characterization of Low-Mass Stars With AstroSat UVIT for Exoplanet Applications: The Case Study of HIP 23309
Sukrit Ranjan, Prasanta K. Nayak, J. Sebastian Pineda +1
Characterizing rocky exoplanet atmospheres is a key goal of exoplanet science, but interpreting such observations will require understanding the stellar UV irradiation incident on…
Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). II. Limited Dust Settling and Prominent Snow Surfaces in the Edge-on Class I Disk IRAS 04302+2247
Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Zhi-Yun Li, John J. Tobin +26
While dust disks around optically visible, Class II protostars are found to be vertically thin, when and how dust settles to the midplane are unclear. As part of the Atacama Large…
Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). IV. The Ringed and Warped Structure of the Disk around the Class I Protostar L1489 IRS
Yoshihide Yamato, Yuri Aikawa, Nagayoshi Ohashi +28
Constraining the physical and chemical structure of young embedded disks is crucial to understanding the earliest stages of planet formation. As part of the Early Planet Formation…
Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) III: A first high-resolution view of sub-mm continuum and molecular line emission toward the Class 0 protostar L1527 IRS
Merel L. R. van 't Hoff, John J. Tobin, Zhi-Yun Li +25
Studying the physical and chemical conditions of young embedded disks is crucial to constrain the initial conditions for planet formation. Here, we present Atacama Large Millimeter…
Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). I. Overview of the Program and First Results
Nagayoshi Ohashi, John J. Tobin, Jes K. Jørgensen +34
We present an overview of the Large Program, ``Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk)'', conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The ubiqu…
Distinguishing Magnetized Disc Winds from Turbulent Viscosity through Substructure Morphology in Planet-forming Discs
Yinhao Wu, Yi-Xian Chen, Haochang Jiang +5
The traditional paradigm of viscosity-dominated evolution of protoplanetary discs has been recently challenged by magnetized disc winds. However, distinguishing wind-driven and tur…
Formation of the warped debris disc around Pictoris
Jeremy L. Smallwood
In light of the recent confirmation of an eccentric orbit giant planet, Pic c, I revisit the formation and evolution of the warped debris disc in the system. Pic c is inter…
Instabilities in dusty non-isothermal proto-planetary discs
Marius Lehmann, Min-Kai Lin
Protoplanetary discs (PPDs) can host a number of instabilities that may partake directly or indirectly in the process of planetesimal formation. These include the Vertical Shear In…
The two rings of (50000) Quaoar
C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy, B. E. Morgado +66
Quaoar is a classical Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) with an area equivalent diameter of 1,100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultat…
How to form compact & other longer-lived planet-induced vortices: VSI, planet migration, or re-triggers, but not feedback
Michael Hammer, Min-Kai Lin
Past computational studies of planet-induced vortices have shown that the dust asymmetries associated with these vortices can be long-lived enough that they should be much more com…
