Planetary gas gaps and kinematic signatures in the planet forming disk around WISPIT 2

Nienke van der Marel, Jochen Stadler, Andres F. Izquierdo +8

The giant planet formation process in disks of gas and dust surrounding young stars is observationally still poorly constrained. Direct detection of protoplanets within the disk re…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. IV. Detailed Imaging of the Protoplanetary Disk around TW Hya

Yu-Chia Lin, Jarron Leisenring, Schuyler G. Wolff +14

As the nearest protoplanetary disk to Earth ( pc), TW Hya is one of the most studied protoplanetary disks and a critical benchmark for testing planet formation theories.…

Misaligned circumbinary discs around unequal-mass eccentric binaries: alignment, morphology, and binary accretion variability

Ruiqi Yang, Jeremy L. Smallwood, Hongping Deng +4

Binary systems are ubiquitous in the Universe and often host circumbinary discs that are misaligned with the binary orbital plane. Such misalignments can affect disc evolution and…

Dynamical Analysis of the HD 169142 Planet-Forming Disk: Twelve Years of High-Contrast Polarimetry

Miles Lucas, Michael Bottom, Ruobing Dong +19

We present a dynamical analysis of the HD 169142 planet-forming disk based on high-contrast polarimetric imaging over a twelve-year observational period, offering insights into its…

Observational characteristics of circum-planetary-mass-object disks in the era of James Webb Space Telescope

Xilei Sun, Pinghui Huang, Ruobing Dong +1

Recent observations have confirmed circumplanetary disks (CPDs) embedded in parental protoplanetary disks (PPDs). On the other hand, planetary-mass companions (PMCs) and planetary-…

The James Webb Interferometer: Space-based interferometric detections of PDS 70 b and c at 4.8 m

Dori Blakely, Doug Johnstone, Gabriele Cugno +22

We observed the planet-hosting system PDS 70 with the James Webb Interferometer, JWST's Aperture Masking Interferometric (AMI) mode within NIRISS. Observing with the F480M filter c…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects III: Detailed Imaging of the Nebular Environment Around the HL Tau Disk

Camryn Mullin, Ruobing Dong, Jarron Leisenring +13

As part of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) program "Direct Imaging of YSOs" (program ID 1179), we use JWST NIRCam's direct imaging mode in F…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. II. Deep Constraints on Giant Planets and a Planet Candidate Outside of the Spiral Disk Around SAO 206462

Gabriele Cugno, Jarron Leisenring, Kevin R. Wagner +17

We present JWST/NIRCam F187N, F200W, F405N and F410M direct imaging data of the disk surrounding SAO 206462. Previous images show a very structured disk, with a pair of spiral arms…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. I. Constraints on Planets Exterior to The Spiral Disk Around MWC 758

Kevin Wagner, Jarron Leisenring, Gabriele Cugno +18

MWC 758 is a young star hosting a spiral protoplanetary disk. The spirals are likely companion-driven, and two previously-identified candidate companions have been identified -- on…

A Uniform Analysis of Debris Disks with the Gemini Planet Imager I: An Empirical Search for Perturbations from Planetary Companions in Polarized Light Images

Katie A. Crotts, Brenda C. Matthews, Gaspard Duchêne +37

The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) has excelled in imaging debris disks in the near-infrared. The GPI Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) imaged twenty-four debris disks in polarized -band lig…

A Companion in V1247 Ori Supported by Spiral Arm Pattern Motion

Bin B. Ren, Chen Xie, Myriam Benisty +8

While there have been nearly two dozen of spiral arms detected from planet-forming disks in near-infrared scattered light, none of their substellar drivers have been confirmed. By…

Improving Planet Detection with Disk Modeling: Keck/NIRC2 Imaging of the HD 34282 Single-armed Protoplanetary Disk

Juan Quiroz, Nicole L. Wallack, Bin Ren +5

Formed in protoplanetary disks around young stars, giant planets can leave observational features such as spirals and gaps in their natal disks through planet-disk interactions. Al…

Spiral Arm Pattern Motion in the SAO 206462 Protoplanetary Disk

Chengyan Xie, Bin Ren, Ruobing Dong +5

Spiral arms have been observed in more than a dozen protoplanetary disks, yet the origin of nearly all systems is under debate. Multi-epoch monitoring of spiral arm morphology offe…
