Variable Outer Disk Shadowing Around the Dipper Star RX J1604.3-2130

P. Pinilla, M. Benisty, J. de Boer +6

Low brightness dips have been recently observed in images of protoplanetary disks, and they are believed to be shadows by the inner disk. We present VLT/SPHERE polarimetric differe…

Super-Earths in the TW Hya disc

Daniel Mentiplay, Daniel J. Price, Christophe Pinte

We test the hypothesis that the sub-millimetre thermal emission and scattered light gaps seen in recent observations of TW Hya are caused by planet-disc interactions. We perform gl…
