Dark jets in the soft X-ray state of black hole binaries?

S. Drappeau, J. Malzac, M. Coriat +10

X-ray binary observations led to the interpretation that powerful compact jets, produced in the hard state, are quenched when the source transitions to its soft state. The aim of t…

Interferometric Evidence for Quantum Heated Particles in the Inner Region of Protoplanetary Disks around Herbig Stars

L. Klarmann, M. Benisty, M. Min +6

To understand the chemical composition of planets, it is important to know the chemical composition of the region where they form in protoplanetary disks. Due to its fundamental ro…

Multiplicity and clustering in Taurus star-forming region. I. Unexpected ultra-wide pairs of high-order multiplicity in Taurus

Isabelle Joncour, Gaspard Duchêne, Estelle Moraux

We collected the multiplicity data of stars in Taurus to build an up-to-date stellar/multiplicity catalog. After a general study of nearest-neighbor statistics on spatial random di…

Global simulations of protoplanetary disks with net magnetic flux: I. Non-ideal MHD case

William Béthune, Geoffroy Lesur, Jonathan Ferreira

The planet-forming region of protoplanetary disks is cold, dense, and therefore weakly ionized. For this reason, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is thought to be mostly absent…
