Interpreting ALMA Multiwavelength Continuum Observations of PDS 70 c: An Optically Thick Dust Ring in the Circumplanetary Disk

Yuhito Shibaike, Satoshi Okuzumi, Takahiro Ueda +2

Giant planets form small gas disks, called circumplanetary disks (CPDs), during gas accretion. The CPD of PDS 70 c has been detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter A…

Direct Retrieval of Protoplanetary Disk Dust Properties using Auto-differentiable Gaussian Processes and Its Application to the HD 169142 Disk

Tomohiro C. Yoshida, Enrique Macías, Giovanni Rosotti +3

Retrieving dust properties in protoplanetary disks, including the surface density distribution, temperature, and grain size distribution, is a fundamental task in observational stu…

An archival summary: 15 years of ALMA observations on disks and planet formation

Nicolas T. Kurtovic, Lizxandra Flores-Rivera, Laura M. Perez +15

The Atacama Large (sub-)millimeter Array (ALMA) has been in scientific operations for almost 15 years. We celebrate this achievement by providing a summary of the ``Disks and plane…

Multi-wavelength ALMA Imaging of HD 34282: Dust-trapping Signatures of a Vortex Candidate

Xiaoyi Ma, Fangyuan Yu, Ruobing Dong +8

Azimuthal arcs in millimeter continuum emission from protoplanetary disks are often attributed to dust-trapping vortices, but definitive observational confirmation of vortices rema…

A Protoplanet Candidate in the PDS 66 Disk Indicated by Silicon Sulfide Isotopologues

Tomohiro C. Yoshida, Felipe Alarcón, Jaehan Bae +11

Despite observational progress in planet formation, the stage in which planetesimals grow into planets remains poorly understood. During this phase, protoplanets may develop gaseou…

ALMA 873 m Polarization Observations of the PDS~70 Disk

Hauyu Baobab Liu, Kiyoaki Doi, Simon Casassus +4

At a 112.4 pc distance, the PDS70 protoplanetary disk is a rare case that has been confirmed to host two accreting planets. This makes it the most important laboratory for studying…

Winding Motion of Spirals in a Gravitationally Unstable Protoplanetary Disk

Tomohiro C. Yoshida, Hideko Nomura, Kiyoaki Doi +5

The discovery of wide-orbit giant exoplanets has posed a challenge to our conventional understanding of planet formation by coagulation of dust grains and planetesimals, and subseq…

Inner disc and circumplanetary material in the PDS 70 system

Daniele Fasano, Myriam Benisty, Pietro Curone +13

The two giant protoplanets directly imaged in the dust-depleted cavity of PDS 70 offer a unique opportunity to study ongoing planet formation. Both planets have been detected in in…

Turbulence in protoplanetary disks: A systematic analysis of dust settling in 33 disks

M. Villenave, G. Rosotti, M. Lambrechts +7

The level of dust vertical settling and radial dust concentration in disks is of critical importance for understanding the efficiency of planet formation. We present the first unif…
