Binary tidal evolution as a sculptor of circumbinary planet architectures

Mario Sucerquia, Nicolás Cuello, Gaspard Duchêne

Circumbinary planets (CBPs) are expected to form in circumbinary discs and migrate towards the disc inner cavity, often near the binary stability boundary. Yet the observed populat…

The dust in Sauron's eye - Observational and experimental results on the debris disk around HR 4796

M. Bonduelle, J. Milli, O. Poch +14

The optical properties (scattering phase function SPF; degree of linear polarization DoLP; reflectance) of the dust particles orbiting in debris disks can be retrieved through scat…

Probing dust properties through polarized scattered-light images of a sample of ring-shaped protoplanetary disks

Maxime Roumesy, François Ménard, Gaspard Duchêne +2

The evolution of protoplanetary disks, especially in the early stages of planetary formation, as dust grows, is the cornerstone of the birth of planets. The mechanisms involved in…

Variation of the disk thickness across ice bands: A method to determine ice abundances in highly inclined protoplanetary disks

Laurine Martinien, Gaspard Duchêne, François Ménard +6

The James Webb Space Telescope provides unprecedented information to study ices in protoplanetary disks. However, the saturation of ice bands in highly inclined disks hinders the m…

DRAGyS -- A comprehensive tool to extract scattering phase functions in protoplanetary disks

Maxime Roumesy, François Ménard, Ryo Tazaki +3

The early stages of planet formation, involving dust grain growth and planetesimals formation, remain shrouded in mystery. The analysis of the Scattering Phase Function (SPF) measu…

The role of absorption and scattering in shaping ice bands. Spatially-resolved spectroscopy of protoplanetary disks

Laurine Martinien, Gaspard Duchêne, François Ménard +2

The James Webb Space Telescope now enables the spectral study of ices with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. Water ice plays a crucial role in the growth of grains…

The grazing angle icy protoplanetary disk PDS 453

Laurine Martinien, François Ménard, Gaspard Duchêne +12

PDS 453 is a rare highly inclined disk where the stellar photosphere is seen at grazing incidence on the disk surface. Our goal is take advantage of this geometry to constrain the…

Running with the Bulls: The frequency of star-disc encounters in the Taurus star forming region

Andrew J. Winter, Myriam Benisty, Linling Shuai +5

Stars and planets form in regions of enhanced stellar density, subjecting protoplanetary discs to gravitational perturbations from neighbouring stars. Observations in the Taurus st…

Orbital dynamics in the GG Tau A system: investigating its enigmatic disc

Claudia Toci, Simone Ceppi, Nicolás Cuello +6

GG Tau is one of the most studied multiple young stellar systems: GG Tau A is a hierarchical triple surrounded by a massive disc and its companion, GG Tau B, is also a binary. Desp…

Full orbital solutions in pre-main sequence high-order multiple systems: GG Tau Ab and UX Tau B

Gaspard Duchêne, Jean-Baptiste LeBouquin, François Ménard +3

High-order multiple (triple and beyond) systems are relatively common. Their interaction with circumstellar and circumbinary material can have a large impact on the formation and e…

Debris Disks: Structure, Composition, and Variability

A. Meredith Hughes, Gaspard Duchene, Brenda Matthews

Debris disks are tenuous, dust-dominated disks commonly observed around stars over a wide range of ages. Those around main sequence stars are analogous to the Solar System's Kuiper…
