Mapping the merging zone of late infall in the AB Aur planet-forming system
Jessica Speedie, Ruobing Dong, Richard Teague +10
Late infall events challenge the traditional view that planet formation occurs without external influence. Here we present deep ALMA CO and SO observ…

Gravitational instability in a planet-forming disk
Jessica Speedie, Ruobing Dong, Cassandra Hall +7
The canonical theory for planet formation in circumstellar disks proposes that planets are grown from initially much smaller seeds. The long-considered alternative theory proposes…

Weighing protoplanetary discs with kinematics: physical model, method and benchmark
Benedetta Veronesi, Cristiano Longarini, Giuseppe Lodato +4
The mass of protoplanetary discs sets the amount of material available for planet formation, determines the level of coupling between gas and dust, and possibly sets gravitational…
