Peering into the Midplane of the DM Tau Disk using N2H+ and DCO+
Amina Diop, Kevin Flaherty, Chunhua Qi +7
Planets form in the midplanes of protoplanetary disks, thus investigating the properties of the midplane region can shed light on the physical and chemical processes governing the…
Mapping Molecular Ion Distributions in a Diverse Sample of Protoplanetary Disks
Deryl E. Long, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Charles J. Law +10
Observations of ionization-tracing molecules in protoplanetary disks suggest that their ionization environments are diverse due to varying degrees of cosmic ray modulation, stellar…
Turbulence Can Persist in the Inner Regions of Weakly-Ionized Planet Forming Disks
David G. Rea, Jacob B. Simon
Identifying the mechanisms responsible for angular momentum transport in protoplanetary disks, and the extent to which those mechanisms produce turbulence, is a crucial problem in…
On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34
Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…
Exploring the Complex Ionization Environment of the Turbulent DM Tau Disk
Deryl E. Long, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Fred C. Adams +9
Ionization drives important chemical and dynamical processes within protoplanetary disks, including the formation of organics and water in the cold midplane and the transportation…
Evidence for Non-zero Turbulence in the Protoplanetary disc around IM Lup
Kevin Flaherty, A. Meredith Hughes, Jacob B. Simon +6
The amount of turbulence in protoplanetary discs around young stars is critical for determining the efficiency, timeline, and outcomes of planet formation. It is also difficult to…
Turbulence in the TW Hya Disk
Kevin M. Flaherty, A. Meredith Hughes, Richard Teague +3
Turbulence is a fundamental parameter in models of grain growth during the early stages of planet formation. As such, observational constraints on its magnitude are crucial. Here w…
A Three-Dimensional View of Turbulence: Constraints on Turbulent Motions in the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk using DCO
Kevin M. Flaherty, A. Meredith Hughes, Sanaea C. Rose +8
Gas kinematics are an important part of the planet formation process. Turbulence influences planetesimal growth and migration from the scale of sub-micron dust grains through gas-g…
Weak Turbulence in the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk Revealed by ALMA CO Observations
Kevin M. Flaherty, A. Meredith Hughes, Katherine A. Rosenfeld +5
Turbulence can transport angular momentum in protoplanetary disks and influence the growth and evolution of planets. With spatially and spectrally resolved molecular emission line…
