Multi-band ALMA Polarization Observations of BHB07-11 Reveal Aligned Dust Grains in Complex Spiral Arm Structures

Austen Fourkas, Leslie W. Looney, Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin +8

Polarization-mode observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are powerful tools for studying the dust grain populations in circumstellar disks. Many…

L1448 IRS3B: Dust Polarization Aligned with Spiral Features, Tracing Gas Flows

Leslie W. Looney, Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Zhi-Yun Li +11

Circumstellar disk dust polarization in the (sub)millimeter is, for the most part, not from dust grain alignment with magnetic fields but rather indicative of a combination of dust…

Early Grain Growth in the Young Protostellar Disk HH 212 Supported by Dust Self-Scattering Modeling

Ying-Chi Hu, Chin-Fei Lee, Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin +3

Grain growth in disks around young stars plays a crucial role in the formation of planets. Early grain growth has been suggested in the HH 212 protostellar disk by previous polariz…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) XVI: An asymmetric dust disk driving a multi-component molecular outflow in the young Class 0 protostar GSS30 IRS3

Alejandro Santamaria-Miranda, Itziar de Gregorio-Monsalvo, Nagayoshi Ohashi +17

We present the results of the ALMA Large Program Early Planet Formation in Embedded disks observations of the Class 0 protostar GSS30 IRS3. Our observations included 1.3 mm continu…

Protoplanetary Disk Polarization at Multiple Wavelengths: Are Dust Populations Diverse?

Rachel E. Harrison, Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Leslie W. Looney +4

Millimeter and sub-millimeter observations of continuum linear dust polarization provide insight into dust grain growth in protoplanetary disks, which are the progenitors of planet…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) XIII: Aligned Disks with Non-Settled Dust Around the Newly Resolved Class 0 Protobinary R CrA IRAS 32

Frankie J. Encalada, Leslie W. Looney, Shigehisa Takakuwa +19

Young protostellar binary systems, with expected ages less than 10 years, are little modified since birth, providing key clues to binary formation and evolution. We prese…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) X: Compact Disks, Extended Infall, and a Fossil Outburst in the Class I Oph IRS43 Binary

Suchitra Narayanan, Jonathan P. Williams, John J. Tobin +17

We present the first results from the Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) ALMA Large Program toward Oph IRS43, a binary system of solar mass protostars. The 1.3 mm dus…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) XII: Accretion streamers, protoplanetary disk, and outflow in the Class I source Oph IRS63

Christian Flores, Nagayoshi Ohashi, John J. Tobin +25

We present ALMA observations of the Class I source Oph IRS63 in the context of the Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) large program. Our ALMA observations of Oph IRS6…

Eccentric Dust Ring in the IRS 48 Transition Disk

Haifeng Yang, Manuel Fernandez-Lopez, Zhi-Yun Li +4

Crescent-shaped structures in transition disks hold the key to studying the putative companions to the central stars. The dust dynamics, especially that of different grain sizes, i…

A VLA View of the Flared, Asymmetric Disk Around the Class 0 Protostar L1527 IRS

Patrick D. Sheehan, John J. Tobin, Zhi-Yun Li +21

We present high resolution Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the protostar L1527 IRS at 7 mm, 1.3 cm, and 2 cm wavelengths. We detect the edge-on dust disk at a…

Thermal Emission and Scattering by Aligned Grains: Plane-Parallel Model and Application to Multiwavelength Polarization of the HL Tau Disk

Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Zhi-Yun Li, Haifeng Yang +4

Telescopes are now able to resolve dust polarization across circumstellar disks at multiple wavelengths, allowing the study of the polarization spectrum. Most disks show clear evid…

Inferring (Sub)millimeter Dust Opacities and Temperature Structure in Edge-on Protostellar Disks From Resolved Multi-Wavelength Continuum Observations: The Case of the HH 212 Disk

Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Chin-Fei Lee, Zhi-Yun Li +2

(Sub)millimeter dust opacities are required for converting the observable dust continuum emission to the mass, but their values have long been uncertain, especially in disks around…

Probing the Temperature Structure of Optically Thick Disks Using Polarized Emission of Aligned Grains

Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Zhi-Yun Li, Haifeng Yang +4

Polarized continuum emission from aligned grains in disks around young stellar objects can be used to probe the magnetic field, radiation anisotropy, or drift between dust and gas,…
