The effect of carbon grain destruction on the chemical structure of protoplanetary disks

Chen-En Wei, Hideko Nomura, Jeong-Eun Lee +3

The bulk composition of the Earth is dramatically carbon poor compared to that of the interstellar medium, and this phenomenon extends to the asteroid belt. To interpret this carbo…

On the Lack of Correlation Between [OIII]/[OII] and Lyman-Continuum Escape Fraction

R. Bassett, E. V. Ryan-Weber, J. Cooke +9

We present the first results of our pilot study of 8 photometrically selected Lyman continuum (LyC) emitting galaxy candidates from the COSMOS field and focus on their optical emis…

Gas density perturbations induced by forming planet(s) in the AS 209 protoplanetary disk as seen with ALMA

Cécile Favre, Davide Fedele, Luke Maud +6

The formation of planets occurs within protoplanetary disks surrounding young stars, resulting in perturbation of the gas and dust surface densities. Here, we report the first evid…
