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…

Theoretical determination of the binding energies of methanol and related species onto amorphous solid water ice
Aneesa Ahmad, Catherine Walsh, Stefan Vogt-Geisse +2
The formation and survival of complex organic molecules (COMs) in cold interstellar environments depends on their interactions with icy dust grain surfaces. Methanol, a key COM det…

Modelling predicts a molecule-rich disk around the AGB star L2 Puppis
M. Van de Sande, C. Walsh, T. Danilovich +2
The nearby oxygen-rich AGB star L2 Pup hosts a well-studied nearly edge-on disk. To date, disks around AGB stars have not been chemically studied in detail. By combining a paramete…
