Photometric survey, modelling, and scaling of long-period and low-amplitude asteroids

A. Marciniak, P. Bartczak, T. Müller +40

The available set of spin and shape modelled asteroids is strongly biased against slowly rotating targets and those with low lightcurve amplitudes. As a consequence of these select…

Feedback-limited Accretion: Variable Luminosity from Growing Planets

Matías Gárate, Jorge Cuadra, Matias Montesinos +1

Planets form in discs of gas and dust around stars, and continue to grow by accretion of disc material while available. Massive planets clear a gap in their protoplanetary disc, bu…

Gas mass tracers in protoplanetary disks: CO is still the best

Tamara Molyarova, Vitaly Akimkin, Dmitry Semenov +3

Protoplanetary disk mass is a key parameter controlling the process of planetary system formation. CO molecular emission is often used as a tracer of gas mass in the disk. In this…

Inferring giant planets from ALMA millimeter continuum and line observations in (transition) disks

Stefano Facchini, Paola Pinilla, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +1

Potential signatures of proto-planets embedded in their natal protoplanetary disk are radial gaps or cavities in the continuum emission in the IR-mm wavelength range. ALMA observat…

CO emission tracing a warp or radial flow within 100 au in the HD 100546 protoplanetary disk

Catherine Walsh, Cail Daley, Stefano Facchini +1

We present spatially resolved ALMA images of CO J=3-2 emission from the protoplanetary disk around HD100546. We model the spatially-resolved kinematic structure of the CO emission.…

Molecular abundances and C/O ratios in chemically evolving planet-forming disk midplanes

Christian Eistrup, Catherine Walsh, Ewine F van Dishoeck

(Abridged) Exoplanet atmospheres are thought be built up from accretion of gas as well as pebbles and planetesimals in the midplanes of planet-forming disks. The chemical compositi…

The thermal emission of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian objects at millimeter wavelengths from ALMA observations

E. Lellouch, R. Moreno, T. Müller +9

The sensitivity of ALMA makes it possible to detect thermal mm/submm emission from small/distant Solar System bodies at the sub-mJy level. Measured fluxes are primarily sensitive t…

CN rings in full protoplanetary disks around young stars as probes of disk structure

P. Cazzoletti, E. F. van Dishoeck, R. Visser +2

Bright ring-like structure emission of the CN molecule has been observed in protoplanetary disks. We investigate whether such structures are due to the morphology of the disk itsel…

Seeds of Life in Space (SOLIS) III. Formamide in protostellar shocks: evidence for gas-phase formation

C. Codella, C. Ceccarelli, P. Caselli +47

Context: Modern versions of the Miller-Urey experiment claim that formamide (NHCHO) could be the starting point for the formation of metabolic and genetic macromolecules. Intri…
