Dust Substructures and Line Perturbations driven by a Forming Planet in J16120
Anibal Sierra, Andrés F. Izquierdo, Paola Pinilla +18
Hints of planet formation have been independently reported within the gap of the disc around 2MASS J16120668-301027 from millimetre continuum, infrared, and H-alpha observations. I…
MINDS: Complementary inclinations in the binary system HK Tau reveal gas- and ice-phase chemistry
Alice Somigliana, Giulia Perotti, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +18
[Abridged] HK Tau is a roughly equal mass pre-main sequence binary system consisting of a low-inclination primary (57 deg) and an edge-on (83 deg) secondary. We present JWST/MIRI o…
The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO): Formaldehyde (HCO) emission and its links to disk properties
Ella Chevalier, Ke Zhang, Miguel Vioque +7
Protoplanetary disks are rotating structures of gas and dust surrounding young stars, serving as the birth places of planets. Understanding the chemical evolution of organic materi…
An archival summary: 15 years of ALMA observations on disks and planet formation

The Atacama Large (sub-)millimeter Array (ALMA) has been in scientific operations for almost 15 years. We celebrate this achievement by providing a summary of the ``Disks and plane…
Dust characterization of halos: The extended emission in protoplanetary disks
Sreejita Das, Enrique Macías, Nicolas T. Kurtovic +3
Extended low surface brightness emission has been identified in a number of protoplanetary disks, in tension with predictions of radial drift theory. We aim to investigate the natu…

Benoît Tabone, Milou Temmink, Laurens B. F. M. Waters +25
(Abridged) We aim to investigate the inner regions of large and massive disks orbiting T Tauri stars, thought to be progenitors of systems with wide-orbit planets and possible case…
The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO): Constraints on disk turbulence, fragmentation velocity, and inner pebble fluxes
Lilian Luo, Paola Pinilla, Camila Pulgarés +14
How substructures and disk properties affect dust evolution and the delivery of solids and volatiles into planet-forming regions remains an open question. We present results from t…
The Circumbinary Disc of HD 34700A II. Analysis of a strong dust asymmetry
Daniele Fasano, Myriam Benisty, Jochen Stadler +8
ALMA observations have shown that substructures are ubiquitous in protoplanetary discs. A sub-group, the transition discs, shows large cavities and rings in dust continuum. Among t…
Benchmarking pre-main sequence stellar evolutionary tracks using disk-based dynamical stellar masses
Luigi Zallio, Miguel Vioque, Sean M. Andrews +14
Stellar masses are a fundamental property to understand models of pre-main sequence evolution, but their values derived from Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagrams are strongly model de…
The Circumbinary Disk of HD 34700A: I. CO gas kinematics indicate spirals, infall, and vortex motions
J. Stadler, M. Benisty, F. Zagaria +9
We present the first high-resolution ( 0.14") Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 dust continuum and CO molecular line emission observations of the qua…
Astrometric view of companions in the inner dust cavities of protoplanetary disks
Miguel Vioque, Richard A. Booth, Enrico Ragusa +16
Protoplanetary disks with inner dust cavities (often referred to as "transition disks") are potential signposts of planet formation. We use Gaia astrometry to search for planetary…
Exomoon search with VLTI/GRAVITY around the substellar companion HD 206893 B
Q. Kral, J. Wang, J. Kammerer +130
Direct astrometric detection of exomoons remains unexplored. This study presents the first application of high-precision astrometry to search for exomoons around substellar compani…
MINDS: The molecule-rich disc of the Herbig star HD 35929 revealed with JWST/MIRI
Till Kaeufer, Rens Waters, Danny Gasman +16
Our knowledge of the chemical composition of the gas in the inner disc of intermediate-mass young stars is limited, due to the lack of suitable instrumentation. The launch of JWST…
The 12CO Gas Structures of Protoplanetary Disks in the Upper Scorpius Region
Luigi Zallio, Giovanni P. Rosotti, Miguel Vioque +13
We present measurements of key protoplanetary disk properties inferred from parametric models of ALMA 12CO spectral line visibilities. We derive gas-disk radii, integrated fluxes,…
