First Detection of HC5N in a Class II Disk around TW Hya

Steven C. Wampler, Ryan A. Loomis, Amina Diop +9

Over the last decade of ALMA's operation the molecular inventory of protoplanetary disks has expanded rapidly, revealing a diverse set of nitrogen-bearing organics and carbon-chain…

A JWST inventory of protoplanetary disk ices: The edge-on protoplanetary disk HH 48 NE, seen with the Ice Age ERS program

J. A. Sturm, M. K. McClure, T. L. Beck +24

Ices are the main carriers of volatiles in protoplanetary disks and are crucial to our understanding of the chemistry that ultimately sets the organic composition of planets. The E…

JWST reveals excess cool water near the snowline in compact disks, consistent with pebble drift

Andrea Banzatti, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, John Carr +19

Previous analyses of mid-infrared water spectra from young protoplanetary disks observed with the Spitzer-IRS found an anti-correlation between water luminosity and the millimeter…

Constraining the gas distribution in the PDS 70 disk as a method to assess the effect of planet-disk interactions

B. Portilla-Revelo, I. Kamp, S. Facchini +7

Embedded planets are potentially the cause of substructures like gaps and cavities observed in several protoplanetary disks. Thus, the substructures observed in the continuum and i…

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). A Circumplanetary Disk Candidate in Molecular Line Emission in the AS 209 Disk

Jaehan Bae, Richard Teague, Sean M. Andrews +29

We report the discovery of a circumplanetary disk (CPD) candidate embedded in the circumstellar disk of the T Tauri star AS 209 at a radial distance of about 200 au (on-sky separat…

Organic chemistry in the first phases of Solar-type protostars

C. Ceccarelli, C. Codella, N. Balucani +7

Planetary systems such as our own are formed after a long process where matter condenses from diffuse clouds to stars, planets, asteroids, comets and residual dust, undergoing dram…

An ALMA Survey of Chemistry in Disks around M4-M5 Stars

Jamila Pegues, Karin I. Oberg, Jennifer B. Bergner +10

M-stars are the most common hosts of planetary systems in the Galaxy. Protoplanetary disks around M-stars thus offer a prime opportunity to study the chemistry of planet-forming en…

Exocometary Science

Luca Matrà, Quentin Kral, Kate Su +20

Evidence for exocomets, icy bodies in extrasolar planetary systems, has rapidly increased over the past decade. Volatiles are detected through the gas that exocomets release as the…

The Disk Gas Mass and the Far-IR Revolution

Edwin A. Bergin, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Charles M. Bradford +13

The gaseous mass of protoplanetary disks is a fundamental quantity in planet formation. The presence of gas is necessary to assemble planetesimals, it determines timescales of gian…

Science with an ngVLA: Organics in Disk Midplanes with the ngVLA

Karin I. Oberg, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Ryan Loomis

Planets assemble in the midplanes of protoplanetary disks. The compositions of dust and gas in the disk midplane region determine the compositions of nascent planets, including the…

Constraining Gas-Phase Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen in the IM Lup Protoplanetary Disk

L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Karin I. Oberg, David J. Wilner +4

We present new constraints on gas-phase C, N, and O abundances in the molecular layer of the IM Lup protoplanetary disk. Building on previous physical and chemical modeling of this…

Science Impacts of the SPHEREx All-Sky Optical to Near-Infrared Spectral Survey II: Report of a Community Workshop on the Scientific Synergies Between the SPHEREx Survey and Other Astronomy Observatories

Olivier Doré, Michael W. Werner, Matthew L. N. Ashby +60

SPHEREx is a proposed NASA MIDEX mission selected for Phase A study. SPHEREx would carry out the first all-sky spectral survey in the near infrared. At the end of its two-year miss…

Witnessing Planetary Systems in the Making with the Next Generation Very Large Array

Luca Ricci, Andrea Isella, Sean M. Andrews +19

The discovery of thousands of exoplanets over the last couple of decades has shown that the birth of planets is a very efficient process in nature. Theories invoke a multitude of m…

Photochemistry and astrochemistry: photochemical pathways to interstellar complex organic molecules

Karin I. Oberg

The interstellar medium is characterized by a rich and diverse chemistry. Many of its complex organic molecules are proposed to form through radical chemistry in icy grain mantles.…

A Ring of C2H in the Molecular Disk Orbiting TW Hya

Joel H. Kastner, Chunhua Qi, Uma Gorti +5

We have used the Submillimeter Array to image, at ~1.5" resolution, C2H (3-2) emission from the circumstellar disk orbiting the nearby (D = 54 pc), ~8 Myr-old, ~0.8 Msun classical…
