Chemistry on solar system scales

Catherine Walsh, Maria Drozdovskaya, Dmitry Semenov +33

The initial chemical composition of planets, primitive bodies in our solar system, and exoplanets is ultimately set by their nascent protoplanetary disks. Yet observing key carbon-…

Planet formation on solar system scales

Francesco Zagaria, Andrés F. Izquierdo, Jaehan Bae +32

Giant planets are often regarded as primordial protoplanetary "architects". Their formation and interactions with planetesimals and other planets during and after the protoplanetar…

Unveiling Complex Chemistry in Planet-forming Disks with the SKAO

Linda Podio, Lisa Giani, Catherine Walsh +38

The chemical composition of planets is inherited from that of the natal protoplanetary disk at the time of planet formation. In recent years, we have made huge progress in characte…

The PAIRS project: a global formation model for planets in binaries. II. Gravitational perturbation effects from secondary stars

Arianna Nigioni, Julia Venturini, Emeline Bolmont +3

Roughly half of Sun-like stars have at least one stellar companion, whereas it is widely assumed that most known exoplanets orbit single stars, largely due to observational biases.…

The quest for Magrathea planets. II. Orbital stability of exoplanets formed around double white dwarfs

Arianna Nigioni, Diego Turrini, Camilla Danielski +2

Planetary formation might occur at different stages of the stellar evolution of compact binaries. In recent years, the formation of second-generation planets has been tested in cir…

ExoNAMD: Leveraging the spin-orbit angle to constrain the dynamics of multiplanetary systems

A. Bocchieri, J. Zak, D. Turrini

Multiplanetary systems are excellent laboratories for studying the formation and evolution of exoplanets inside the same stellar environment. The number of known multiplanetary sys…

Chondrule formation by collisions of planetesimals containing volatiles triggered by Jupiter's formation

Sin-iti Sirono, Diego Turrini

Chondrules are spherical or subspherical particles of crystallized or partially crystallized liquid silicates that constitute large-volume fractions of most chondritic meteorites.…

On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres

Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34

Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…

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…
