HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
Demographics of planet-forming disks with the SKAO
Antonio Garufi, Sebastián Pérez, John D. Ilee +21
Understanding how solid material in planet-forming disks evolves from micron-sized dust to planetary cores is a central challenge in modern astrophysics. This study has advanced dr…
Substructures in Planet-Forming Disks with the SKAO
Yinhao Wu, Jessica Speedie, Sebastián Pérez +33
Disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars are the arenas and material reservoirs for planet formation. Over the past decade, multiwavelength observations, from infrared to radio,…
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…
Mercury-Opal: the GPU-accelerated version of the n-body code for planet formation Mercury-Arxes
Paolo Simonetti, Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi +4
Large n-body simulations with fully interacting objects represent the next frontier in computational planetary formation studies. In this paper, we present Mercury-Opal, the GPU-ac…
The Origins of Planets for ArieL (OPAL) Key Science Project: the end-to-end planet formation campaign for the ESA space mission Ariel
Danae Polychroni, Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi +7
The growing body of atmospheric observations of exoplanets from space and ground-based facilities showcases how the great diversity of the planetary population is not limited to th…
