Dust and Water in V883 Ori: Relics of a Retreating Snowline

Yu Wang, Chris W. Ormel, Hao-Chang Jiang +3

V883 Ori is an FU-Orionis-type outburst system characterized by a shoulder at 50-70 au in its ALMA band 6 and 7 intensity profiles. Previously, this feature was attributed to dust…

Infall Explains the Disk Kinematics of AB Aur Without Gravitational Instability

Josh Calcino, Daniel J. Price, Chris W. Ormel

Late-stage infall onto protoplanetary disks can produce large scale spiral arms. In this paper we used 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics and radiative transfer simulations to stud…

A Resonant Beginning for the Solar System Terrestrial Planets

Shuo Huang, Chris Ormel, Simon Portegies Zwart +2

In the past two decades, transit surveys have revealed a class of planets with thick atmospheres -- sub-Neptunes -- that must have completed their accretion in protoplanet disks. W…

From Planetesimals to Dwarf Planets by Pebble Accretion

Chris W. Ormel, Yukun Huang

The size distribution of TNOs in the Kuiper Belt provides crucial insights into the formation and evolution of the outer Solar System. Recent observational surveys, including OSSOS…

The Dynamical History of the Kepler-221 Planet System

Tian Yi, Chris W. Ormel, Shuo Huang +1

Kepler-221 is a G-type star hosting four planets. In this system, planets b, c, and e are in (or near) a 6:3:1 three-body resonance even though the planets' period ratios show sign…

Solving for the 2D Water Snowline with Hydrodynamic Simulations. Emergence of gas outflow, water cycle and temperature plateau

Yu Wang, Chris W. Ormel, Shoji Mori +1

In protoplanetary disks, the water snowline marks the location where ice-rich pebbles sublimate, releasing silicate grains and water vapor. These processes can trigger pile-ups of…
