The ALMA View of the Edge-on Gomez's Hamburger System: A Highly-Dynamic, Asymmetric Protoplanetary Disk Reveals the Earliest Phases of Giant Planet Formation

Charles J. Law, Jensen Lawrence, Richard Teague +18

Chemical tracers provide some of the strongest observational signatures of ongoing planet formation and localized dynamical perturbations in protoplanetary disks. In particular, su…

Hubble reveals complex multi-scale structure in the edge-on protoplanetary disk IRAS 23077+6707

Kristina Monsch, Joshua B. Lovell, Karl R. Stapelfeldt +11

We present high-resolution () Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) imaging of the near edge-on () protoplanetary disk IRAS 23077…

SMA and NOEMA reveal asymmetric sub-structure in the protoplanetary disk of IRAS23077+6707

Joshua B. Lovell, Leon Trapman, Kristina Monsch +5

We present high-resolution data of IRAS 23077+6707 (`Dracula's Chivito') with the Submillimeter Array (SMA at 1.33 mm/225.5 GHz) and the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA a…

Heating of the Atmospheres of Short-orbit Exoplanets by Their Rapid Orbital Motion Through an Extreme Space Environment

Ofer Cohen, Alex Glocer, Cecilia Garraffo +4

Exoplanets with short orbit period reside very close to their host stars. They transition very rapidly between different sectors of the circumstellar space environment along their…

Lowest accreting protoplanetary discs consistent with X-ray photoevaporation driving their final dispersal

Barbara Ercolano, Giovanni Picogna, Kristina Monsch

Photoevaporation from high energy stellar radiation has been thought to drive the dispersal of protoplanetary discs. Different theoretical models have been proposed, but their pred…

Towards a population synthesis of discs and planets. II. Confronting disc models and observations at the population level

Alexandre Emsenhuber, Remo Burn, Jesse Weder +4

Aims. We want to find the distribution of initial conditions that best reproduces disc observations at the population level. Methods. We first ran a parameter study using a 1D mode…

The dispersal of protoplanetary discs. II: Photoevaporation models with observationally derived irradiating spectra

Barbara Ercolano, Giovanni Picogna, Kristina Monsch +2

Young solar-type stars are known to be strong X-ray emitters and their X-ray spectra have been widely studied. X-rays from the central star may play a crucial role in the thermodyn…

The imprint of X-ray photoevaporation of planet-forming discs on the orbital distribution of giant planets -- II. Theoretical predictions

Kristina Monsch, Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano +1

Numerical models have shown that disc dispersal via internal photoevaporation driven by the host star can successfully reproduce the observed pile-up of warm Jupiters near 1-2 au.…

Giant planet migration during the disc dispersal phase

Kristina Monsch, Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano +1

Transition discs are expected to be a natural outcome of the interplay between photoevaporation (PE) and giant planet formation. Massive planets reduce the inflow of material from…

The imprint of X-ray photoevaporation of planet-forming discs on the orbital distribution of giant planets

Kristina Monsch, Barbara Ercolano, Giovanni Picogna +2

High energy radiation from a planet host star can have strong influence on the final habitability of a system through several mechanisms. In this context we have constructed a cata…
