Resolved Structure and Orbital Motion of a Localized 1 au-scale Dust Accumulation in the Protoplanetary Disk around TW Hya

Takashi Tsukagoshi, Takayuki Muto, Hideko Nomura +6

We present the results of high-resolution (~au) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the TW~Hya protoplanetary disk in the Band 6 dust continu…

Cooling-regulated gas accretion onto gap-opening planets

Ayumu Kuwahara, Michiel Lambrechts, Minghao Zhang +2

Gas accretion onto forming planets controls the final masses of giant planets and provides observable signatures of ongoing formation. How this process depends on the cooling prope…

Isotopomer-Specific Carbon Isotope Ratio of Complex Organic Molecules in Star-Forming Cores

Ryota Ichimura, Hideko Nomura, Kenji Furuya +2

The recent observation of complex organic molecules (COMs) in interstellar ices by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), along with previous gas-phase detections, underscores the…

Winding Motion of Spirals in a Gravitationally Unstable Protoplanetary Disk

Tomohiro C. Yoshida, Hideko Nomura, Kiyoaki Doi +5

The discovery of wide-orbit giant exoplanets has posed a challenge to our conventional understanding of planet formation by coagulation of dust grains and planetesimals, and subseq…

Formation of unsaturated carbon chains through carbon chemisorption on solid CO

Masashi Tsuge, Germán Molpeceres, Ryota Ichimura +3

The interaction of carbon atoms with solid carbon monoxide (CO) is a fundamental process in astrochemistry, influencing the formation of complex organic molecules in interstellar e…

Detecting water ice and vapor disks originating from icy planetary bodies around white dwarfs with future PRIMA observations

Ayaka Okuya, Hideko Nomura

Observations of atmospheres of polluted white dwarfs provide insights into the elemental composition of accreted exoplanets and exo-asteroids. However, they poorly constrain the ab…
