The Effect of External Photoevaporation on the Disk Fraction in M17
Samuel Millstone, Megan Reiter, Morten Andersen +6
A major obstacle to improving models of planet formation is understanding how the local environment influences the lifetime of the disks in which they form. The spread in observed…
Thackeray's globules in IC 2944: the rocket effect revisited by ALMA
M. Fernández-López, L. A. Zapata, B. Reipurth +4
The prominent Thackeray's globules are a collection of cloudlets seen in silhouette against the bright emission of the IC 2944 HII region, ionized by the Collinder 249 cluster of e…
Submillimeter and Mid-Infrared Variability of Young Stellar Objects in the M17 HII Region
Zhiwei Chen, Doug Johnstone, Carlos Contreras Peña +12
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of young stellar object (YSO) variability at submillimeter and mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelengths for the M\,17 \ion{H}{2} region, using 3.5 ye…
The past, present and future of observations of externally irradiated disks
Planet formation environments collaboration, Megan Allen, Rossella Anania +51
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the community studying the effect of ultraviolet radiation environment, predominantly set by OB stars, on protoplanetary disc evolutio…
Into the Mystic: the MUSE view of the ionized gas in the Mystic Mountains in Carina
Megan Reiter, Anna F. McLeod, Dominika Itrich +1
We present optical integral field unit (IFU) observations of the Mystic Mountains, a dust pillar complex in the center of the Carina Nebula that is heavily irradiated by the nearby…
