Compact CO emission and no evidence of radial drift. ALMA observations of the faintest planet-forming disks in Lupus

Giulia Ricciardi, Francesco Zagaria, Anna Miotello +13

A large fraction of planet-forming disks observed with ALMA show faint CO emission, often interpreted as strong CO depletion. However, faint emission may also arise from spatially…

The Circumbinary Disc of HD 34700A II. Analysis of a strong dust asymmetry

Daniele Fasano, Myriam Benisty, Jochen Stadler +8

ALMA observations have shown that substructures are ubiquitous in protoplanetary discs. A sub-group, the transition discs, shows large cavities and rings in dust continuum. Among t…

Benchmarking pre-main sequence stellar evolutionary tracks using disk-based dynamical stellar masses

Luigi Zallio, Miguel Vioque, Sean M. Andrews +14

Stellar masses are a fundamental property to understand models of pre-main sequence evolution, but their values derived from Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagrams are strongly model de…
