exoALMA XXII: A Two-dimensional Atlas of Deviations from Keplerian Disks
Misato Fukagawa, Andrés F. Izquierdo, Jochen Stadler +35
Protoplanetary disks are the birthplaces of planetary systems, and deviations from Keplerian rotation imprinted in disk gas kinematics serve as key tracers of physical processes an…
exoALMA XXI: The Morphology and Dynamics of Vertical Flows
Myriam Benisty, Andres F. Izquierdo, Jochen Stadler +33
Vertical gas flows, such as winds and meridional circulations, are natural outcomes of protoplanetary disk processes and play a critical role in the earliest stages of planet forma…
exoALMA XIX: Confirmation of Non-thermal Line Broadening in the DM Tau Protoplanetary Disk
Caitlyn Hardiman, Christophe Pinte, Daniel J. Price +38
Turbulence is expected to transport angular momentum and drive mass accretion in protoplanetary disks. One way to directly measure turbulent motion in disks is through molecular li…
