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…
Direct evidence for magnetohydrodynamic disk winds driving rotating outflows in protostar HOPS 358
Chul-Hwan Kim, Jeong-Eun Lee, Doug Johnstone +4
Angular momentum removal is a fundamental requirement for star and planet formation, yet the mechanisms driving this process remain debated. Magnetohydrodynamic disk winds, launche…
HOPS-288: A Laboratory for Complex Organics in Proto-multiple Systems
Shih-Ying Hsu, Nadia M. Murillo, Chin-Fei Lee +21
Complex organic molecules (COMs) in young stellar objects (YSOs) have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their potential connection to pre-biotic chemistry and…
The Rotation Dip in the Envelope-Disk Transition of HH 111: Evidence for Magnetic Braking
Jyun-Heng Lin, Chin-Fei Lee, Zhi-Yun Li +3
Magnetic braking can drive angular momentum loss in star formation and influence disk evolution. A previous study of HH 111 VLA1 suggested a decrease in rotation velocity in a regi…
Unveiling the Chemical Complexity and C/O Ratio of the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk: Constraints from Multi-line ALMA Observations of Organics, Nitriles, Sulfur-bearing, and Deuterated Molecules
Parashmoni Kashyap, Liton Majumdar, Edwin A. Bergin +13
The physical and chemical conditions within a protoplanetary disk play a crucial role in determining its chemical composition, which is subsequently inherited by any forming planet…
ALMASOP: Inner-Envelope Structures of Protostars Driving Nascent Jets
Somnath Dutta, Chin-Fei Lee, Naomi Hirano +15
Protostellar jets provide valuable insight into the evolutionary stage and formation history of star-forming cores in their earliest phases. We investigated the inner envelope stru…
