The chemical diversity of giant-planet nurseries as revealed by ALMA
Alice S. Booth, Jenny Calahan, Milou Temmink +9
With the giant exoplanet occurrence rate peaking around stars of 1.5-2 solar masses, there is strong motivation to characterize the disks that set their formation conditions. Obser…
Zooming into the water snowline: high resolution water observations of the HL Tau disk
M. Leemker, S. Facchini, P. Curone +4
Water is one of the central molecules for the formation and habitability of planets. In particular, the region where water freezes-out, the water snowline, could be a favorable loc…
Pristine ices in a planet-forming disk revealed by heavy water

Protoplanetary disks around luminous young A-type stars are prime observational laboratories to determine the abundances of complex organic molecules (COMs) present during planet f…
Radial variations in nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen fractionation in the PDS 70 planet-hosting disk
L. Rampinelli, S. Facchini, M. Leemker +8
Element isotopic ratios are powerful tools to reconstruct the journey of planetary material, from the parental molecular cloud to protoplanetary disks, where planets form and accre…
ALMA reveals thermal and non-thermal desorption of methanol ice in the HD 100546 protoplanetary disk
Lucy Evans, Alice S. Booth, Catherine Walsh +8
Methanol (CHOH) and formaldehyde (HCO) are chemically coupled organic molecules proposed to act as an intermediate step between simple molecules and more complex prebiotic…
Characterising the molecular line emission in the asymmetric Oph-IRS 48 dust trap: Temperatures, timescales, and sub-thermal excitation
Milou Temmink, Alice S. Booth, Margot Leemker +8
The ongoing physical and chemical processes in planet-forming disks set the stage for planet formation. The asymmetric disk around the young star Oph-IRS 48 has one of the most wel…
Volatile composition of the HD 169142 disk and its embedded planet
Luke Keyte, Mihkel Kama, Alice S. Booth +2
The composition of a planet's atmosphere is intricately linked to the chemical makeup of the protoplanetary disk in which it formed. Determining the elemental abundances from key v…
Measuring the and isotopic ratios of volatile sulfur during planet formation
Alice S. Booth, Maria N. Drozdovskaya, Milou Temmink +9
Stable isotopic ratios constitute powerful tools for unraveling the thermal and irradiation history of volatiles. In particular, we can use our knowledge of the isotopic fractionat…
ALMA high-resolution observations unveil planet formation shaping molecular emission in the PDS 70 disk
