Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts

A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101

This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…

Torsionally excited methanol in massive young stellar objects: The role of the mid-IR radiation field

C. Sanna, S. Leurini, A. Giannetti +9

Observing the earliest stages of high-mass star formation in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) is challenging because the extinction is high and the resolution limited. Millimeter vibratio…

External photoevaporation in the center of Tr14

Katia Gkimisi, Da Eun Kang, Dominika Itrich +11

Most stars form in massive stellar clusters, where intense far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation from OB stars can accelerate the dispersal of protoplanetary disks through external photo…

Phosphorus abundances and multi-element co-enrichment in nearby FGK stars

Dario Esposito, Giovanni Covone, Donato Giovannelli +9

The distribution of bio-essential elements is key to assessing the chemical fertility of galactic environments. We analyse phosphorus abundances for 233 nearby FGK stars from the H…

Interpreting the scattering surface in protoplanetary disks

Massimiliano Bolchini, Giovanni Rosotti, Marion Villenave +5

In recent years, extreme adaptive optics have enabled high-resolution, high-contrast scattered-light observations of protoplanetary disks. Interpreting these observations requires…

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…
