Planet forming disk populations and their connection to the environment

Thomas J. Haworth, Giovanni Rosotti, Carlo Manara +35

Existing sub-mm observatories such as ALMA have provided statistics on the planet-forming mass reservoirs within circumstellar disks around stars in stellar clusters out to distanc…

JWST-MIRI's multi-dimensional view of mass loss in the irradiated disks of NGC 1977

Alice S. Booth, Qijia Zhou, Jinyoung Serena Kim +10

The evolution of protoplanetary disks, and consequently the outcomes of planet formation, are thought to be significantly altered in regions containing massive stars. Extreme cases…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Radio Survey. II. Radio Emission from High-Luminosity Protostars

Francisco Sequeira-Murillo, Viviana Rosero, Joshua Marvil +9

We present centimeter continuum observations of seven high luminosity massive protostars and their surrounding sources in regions with multiple targets, as part of the SOFIA Massiv…

Discovery of Radio Recombination Lines from Proplyds in the Orion Nebula Cluster

Ryan D. Boyden, Kimberly L. Emig, Nicholas P. Ballering +5

We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations that, for the first time, detect hydrogen and helium radio recombination lines from a protoplanetary disk.…

The past, present and future of observations of externally irradiated disks

Planet formation environments collaboration, Megan Allen, Rossella Anania +51

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the community studying the effect of ultraviolet radiation environment, predominantly set by OB stars, on protoplanetary disc evolutio…

Water Ice in the Edge-On Orion Silhouette Disk 114--426 from JWST NIRCam Images

Nicholas P. Ballering, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Ryan D. Boyden +3

We examine images of the protoplanetary disk 114--426 with JWST/NIRCam in 12 bands. This large disk is oriented edge-on with a dark midplane flanked by lobes of scattered light. Th…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. V. Clustered Protostars

Zoie Telkamp, Ruben Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan +16

We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of seven regions of ``clustered" star formation as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. We identify a total of 34…

A tell-tale tracer for externally irradiated protoplanetary disks: comparing the [CI] 8727 A line and ALMA observations in proplyds

Mari-Liis Aru, Karina Mauco, Carlo F. Manara +15

The evolution of protoplanetary disks in regions with massive OB stars is influenced by externally driven winds that deplete the outer parts of disks. These winds have previously b…

Constraining free-free emission and photoevaporative mass loss rates for known proplyds and new VLA-identified candidate proplyds in NGC 1977

Ryan D. Boyden, Josh A. Eisner

We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations covering the NGC 1977 region at 3.0, 6.4, and 15.0 GHz. We search for compact radio sources and detect continuum emission fr…

Isolating Dust and Free-Free Emission in ONC Proplyds with ALMA Band 3 Observations

Nicholas P. Ballering, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Thomas J. Haworth +6

The Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) hosts protoplanetary disks experiencing external photoevaporation by the cluster's intense UV field. These ``proplyds" are comprised of a disk surrou…

Chemical modeling of Orion Nebula Cluster disks: evidence for massive, compact gas disks with ISM-like gas-to-dust ratios

Ryan D. Boyden, Josh A. Eisner

The stellar cluster environment is expected to play a central role in the evolution of circumstellar disks. We use thermochemical modeling to constrain the dust and gas masses, dis…

Protoplanetary Disks in the Orion Nebula Cluster: Gas Disk Morphologies and Kinematics as seen with ALMA

Ryan D. Boyden, Josh A. Eisner

We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array CO(32) and HCO(43) observations covering the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC)…

TurbuStat: Turbulence Statistics in Python

Eric W. Koch, Erik W. Rosolowsky, Ryan D. Boyden +4

We present TurbuStat (v1.0): a Python package for computing turbulence statistics in spectral-line data cubes. TurbuStat includes implementations of fourteen methods for recovering…

Assessing the Impact of Astrochemistry on Molecular Cloud Turbulence Statistics

Ryan D. Boyden, Stella S. R. Offner, Eric W. Koch +1

We analyze hydrodynamic simulations of turbulent, star-forming molecular clouds that are post-processed with the photo-dissociation region astrochemistry code 3D-PDR. We investigat…

An Exploration of the Statistical Signatures of Stellar Feedback

Ryan D. Boyden, Eric W. Koch, Erik W. Rosolowsky +1

All molecular clouds are observed to be turbulent, but the origin, means of sustenance, and evolution of the turbulence remain debated. One possibility is that stellar feedback inj…
