Mathilde Mâlin, Kimberly Ward-Duong, Sierra L. Grant +21
Young accreting planetary-mass objects are thought to draw material from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) composed of gas and dust. While the gas within the disk is expected to dispers…
Direct Measurement of Extinction in a Planet-Hosting Gap
G. Cugno, S. Facchini, F. Alarcon +12
Recent disk observations have revealed multiple indirect signatures of forming gas giant planets, but high-contrast imaging has rarely confirmed the presence of the suspected pertu…
