The Rosetta Stone Project. I. A suite of radiative magnetohydrodynamics simulations of high-mass star-forming clumps

Ugo Lebreuilly, Alessio Traficante, Alice Nucara +14

Context. Star formation and, in particular, high-mass star formation are key astrophysical processes that are far from being fully understood. Unfortunately, progress in these fiel…

The Rosetta Stone project. III. ALMA synthetic observations of fragmentation in high-mass star-forming clumps

Alice Nucara, Alessio Traficante, Ugo Lebreuilly +23

The physical mechanisms that regulate the collapse of high-mass parsec-scale clumps and allow them to form clusters of new stars represent a crucial aspect of star formation. To in…

Tracing the formation history of giant planets in protoplanetary disks with Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulphur

Diego Turrini, Eugenio Schisano, Sergio Fonte +7

The composition of giant planets is imprinted by their migration history and the compositional structure of their hosting disks. Studies in recent literature investigate how the ab…
