The chemical diversity of giant-planet nurseries as revealed by ALMA
Alice S. Booth, Jenny Calahan, Milou Temmink +9
With the giant exoplanet occurrence rate peaking around stars of 1.5-2 solar masses, there is strong motivation to characterize the disks that set their formation conditions. Obser…
Ice sublimation in the dynamic HD 100453 disk reveals a rich reservoir of inherited complex organics
Alice S. Booth, Lisa Wölfer, Milou Temmink +7
Protoplanetary disks around luminous young A-type stars are prime observational laboratories to determine the abundances of complex organic molecules (COMs) present during planet f…
ALMA reveals thermal and non-thermal desorption of methanol ice in the HD 100546 protoplanetary disk
Lucy Evans, Alice S. Booth, Catherine Walsh +8
Methanol (CHOH) and formaldehyde (HCO) are chemically coupled organic molecules proposed to act as an intermediate step between simple molecules and more complex prebiotic…
Characterising the molecular line emission in the asymmetric Oph-IRS 48 dust trap: Temperatures, timescales, and sub-thermal excitation
Milou Temmink, Alice S. Booth, Margot Leemker +8
The ongoing physical and chemical processes in planet-forming disks set the stage for planet formation. The asymmetric disk around the young star Oph-IRS 48 has one of the most wel…
