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…

Planet formation in chemically diverse and evolving discs II. Chemical fingerprints in planetary atmospheres

E. Pacetti, D. Turrini, E. Schisano +13

Giant planets form in protoplanetary discs, where the coupled dynamical and chemical evolution of gas and solids determines the composition of the material they accrete. We investi…

The accretion luminosity of Class I protostars

L. Testi, A. Natta, S. Gozzi +7

The value of the accretion luminosity during the early phases of star formation is a crucial information which helps us understand how stars form, yet it is still very difficult to…

FAUST XXVI. The dust opacity spectral indices of protostellar envelopes bridge the gap between interstellar medium and disks

Luca Cacciapuoti, L. Testi, A. J. Maury +36

The sub-millimetre dust opacity spectral index is a critical observable to constrain dust properties, such as the maximum grain size of an observed dust population. It has been wid…

Anisotropy in the carbon monoxide (CO) line emission across the Milky Way's disk

J. D. Soler, M. Heyer, M. Benedettini +11

We present a study of the CO(1-0) line emission anisotropy across the Milky Way's disk to examine the effect of stellar feedback and Galactic dynamics on the distribution of…

Planetesimal formation via the streaming instability in simulations of infall dominated young disks

L. -A. Hühn, C. P. Dullemond, U. Lebreuilly +7

Protoplanetary disks naturally emerge during protostellar core-collapse. In their early evolutionary stages, infalling material dominates their dynamical evolution. In the context…

HD 163296 and its Giant Planets: Creation of Exo-comets, Interstellar Objects and Transport of Volatile Material

D. Polychroni, D. Turrini, S. Ivanovski +14

The birth of giant planets in protoplanetary disks is known to alter the structure and evolution of the disk environment, but most of our knowledge focuses on its effects on the ob…

Kinetic tomography of the Galactic plane within 1.25 kiloparsecs from the Sun. The interstellar flows revealed by HI and CO line emission and 3D dust

J. D. Soler, S. Molinari, S. C. O. Glover +10

We present a reconstruction of the line-of-sight motions of the local interstellar medium (ISM) based on the combination of a model of the three-dimensional dust density distributi…

The chemistry of star and planet formation with SKA

C. Codella, L. Testi, G. Umana +2

In this contribution, we aim to summarise the efforts of the Italian SKA scientific community in conducting surveys of star-forming regions within our Galaxy, in the development of…

Accuracy of ALMA estimates of young disk radii and masses. Predicted observations from numerical simulations

Ngo-Duy Tung, Leonardo Testi, Ugo Lebreuilly +7

Protoplanetary disks, which are the natural consequence of the gravitational collapse of the dense molecular cloud cores, host the formation of the known planetary systems in our u…
