Destructuring the disk of AB Aurigae: Dynamics and accretion
Anthony Boccaletti, Emmanuel Di Folco, Anne Dutrey +23
In this paper, we present near-IR polarized images of the AB Aur disk at three epochs spanning 3.85 years with SPHERE/IRDIS, as well as Halpha images obtained with SPHERE/ZIMPOL at…
Young system development in a cometary globule: An investigation into the eccentric disk around AT Pyx in terms of planet-formation and interaction with its surrounding environment
Dan McLachlan, Christian Ginski, Jake Byrne +5
This paper presents new data and analyses of the AT Pyx system, a disk-hosting young star located in a cometary globule in the Gum Nebula. This radiation-driven structure is an unu…
Imaging the LkCa 15 system in polarimetry and total intensity without self-subtraction artefacts
C. Swastik, Zahed Wahhaj, Myriam Benisty +7
Studying young protoplanetary disks is essential for understanding planet formation, but traditional angular differential imaging can introduce self-subtraction artefacts that hind…
Debris disks and their properties with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Isabel Rebollido, Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Meredith MacGregor +5
The study of the last stages of planet formation, also known as debris disks, is fundamental to place constrains on the formation of planetary sized bodies. Debris disks are compos…
Studying Protoplanets and Protoplanetary Disks with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Bin B. Ren
Since the discovery of the first exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star, the confirmation of nearly 6000 exoplanets to date - and their diversity - has revolutionized our knowledge of…
Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young Stars (DESTINYS): Dynamical Evidence of a Spiral-Arm-Driving and Gap-Opening Protoplanet from SAO 206462 Spiral Motion
Chen Xie, Chengyan Xie, Bin B. Ren +8
In the early stages of planetary system formation, young exoplanets gravitationally interact with their surrounding environments and leave observable signatures on protoplanetary d…
