Ionized gas emission in protoplanetary disks with the SKAO

Greta Guidi, Christian Rab, Barbara Ercolano +20

Protoplanetary disks represent a crucial stage in the evolution of Young Stellar Objects towards the formation of fully formed planetary systems. While substantial progress has bee…

Demographics of planet-forming disks with the SKAO

Antonio Garufi, Sebastián Pérez, John D. Ilee +21

Understanding how solid material in planet-forming disks evolves from micron-sized dust to planetary cores is a central challenge in modern astrophysics. This study has advanced dr…

Substructures in Planet-Forming Disks with the SKAO

Yinhao Wu, Jessica Speedie, Sebastián Pérez +33

Disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars are the arenas and material reservoirs for planet formation. Over the past decade, multiwavelength observations, from infrared to radio,…

Turn up the light: Radiative efficiency of protostars at birth

Asmita Bhandare, Adnan Ali Ahmad, Benoît Commerçon

Early stages of stellar birth comprise of a two-step process involving the formation of two hydrostatic cores. The second step of gravitational collapse sets the radiative efficien…

Formation and evolution of a protoplanetary disk: combining observations, simulations and cosmochemical constraints

Alessandro Morbidelli, Yves Marrocchi, Adnan Ali Ahmad +12

We present a plausible and coherent view of the evolution of the protosolar disk that is consistent with the cosmochemical constraints and compatible with observations of other pro…

Mixing is easy: New insights for cosmochemical evolution from pre-stellar core collapse

Asmita Bhandare, Benoît Commerçon, Guillaume Laibe +5

Signposts of early planet formation are ubiquitous in substructured young discs. Dense, hot and high-pressure regions formed during gravitational collapse process, integral to star…

The Exceptional Ring of buoyancy instability in stars

Armand Leclerc, Lucien Jezequel, Nicolas Perez +3

We reveal properties of global modes of linear buoyancy instability in stars, characterised by the celebrated Schwarzschild criterion, using non-Hermitian topology. We identify a r…

Significant interstellar object production by close stellar flybys

Susanne Pfalzner, Luis Aizpuru Vargas, Asmita Bhandare +1

Within just two years, two interstellar objects (ISOs) - Oumuamuas and Borisov - have been discovered. Large quantities of planetesimals form as a by-product of planet formation. T…

Zooming in on Individual Star Formation: Low- and High-mass Stars

Anna L. Rosen, Stella S. R. Offner, Sarah I. Sadavoy +3

Star formation is a multi-scale, multi-physics problem ranging from the size scale of molecular clouds (10s pc) down to the size scales of dense prestellar cores (0.1 p…

Birth of convective low-mass to high-mass second Larson cores

Asmita Bhandare, Rolf Kuiper, Thomas Henning +3

Stars form as an end product of the gravitational collapse of cold, dense gas in magnetized molecular clouds. This multi-scale scenario occurs via the formation of two quasi-hydros…

Formation and Evolution of Disks around Young Stellar Objects

Bo Zhao, Kengo Tomida, Patrick Hennebelle +9

Recent observations have suggested that circumstellar disks may commonly form around young stellar objects. Although the formation of circumstellar disks can be a natural result of…

EDEN: Sensitivity Analysis and Transiting Planet Detection Limits for Nearby Late Red Dwarfs

Aidan Gibbs, Alex Bixel, Benjamin Rackham +23

Small planets are common around late-M dwarfs and can be detected through highly precise photometry by the transit method. Planets orbiting nearby stars are particularly important…

DESTINY: Database for the Effects of STellar encounters on dIsks and plaNetary sYstems

Asmita Bhandare, Susanne Pfalzner

Most stars form as part of a stellar group. These young stars are mostly surrounded by a disk from which potentially a planetary system might form. Both, the disk and later on the…

The Natural History of 'Oumuamua

Oumuamua ISSI Team

The discovery of the first interstellar object passing through the Solar System, 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua), provoked intense and continuing interest from the scientific community and…

First Core Properties: From Low- to High-mass Star Formation

Asmita Bhandare, Rolf Kuiper, Thomas Henning +3

In this study, the main goal is to understand the molecular cloud core collapse through the stages of first and second hydrostatic core formation. We investigate the properties of…

Outer solar system possibly shaped by a stellar fly-by

Susanne Pfalzner, Asmita Bhandare, Kirsten Vincke +1

The planets of our solar system formed from a gas-dust disk. However, there are some properties of the solar system that are peculiar in this context. First, the cumulative mass of…

Did a stellar fly-by shape the planetary system around Pr 0211 in the cluster M 44?

Susanne Pfalzner, Asmita Bhandare, Kirsten Vincke

Out of the 3000 exoplanets detected so far, only fourteen planets are members of open clusters: among them an exoplanet system around Pr 0211 in the cluster M44 which consis…

Effects of inclined star-disk encounter on protoplanetary disk size

Asmita Bhandare, Andreas Breslau, Susanne Pfalzner

Most, if not all, young stars are initially surrounded by protoplanetary disks. Owing to the preferential formation of stars in stellar clusters, the protoplanetary disks around th…
