Multi-GPU maximum entropy image synthesis for radio astronomy

M. Cárcamo, P. Román, S. Casassus +2

The maximum entropy method (MEM) is a well known deconvolution technique in radio-interferometry. This method solves a non-linear optimization problem with an entropy regularizatio…

A compact concentration of large grains in the HD142527 protoplanetary dust trap

Simon Casassus, Chris Wright, Sebastian Marino +11

A pathway to the formation of planetesimals, and eventually giant planets, may occur in concentrations of dust grains trapped in pressure maxima. Dramatic crescent-shaped dust conc…

Accretion kinematics through the warped transition disk in HD142527 from resolved CO(6-5) observations

Simon Casassus, Sebastian Marino, Sebastian Perez +10

The finding of residual gas in the large central cavity of the HD142527 disk motivates questions on the origin of its non-Keplerian kinematics, and possible connections with planet…

Planet formation signposts: observability of circumplanetary disks via gas kinematics

Sebastian Perez, Alex Dunhill, Simon Casassus +5

The identification of on-going planet formation requires the finest angular resolutions and deepest sensitivities in observations inspired by state-of-the-art numerical simulations…

Compact dust concentration in the MWC 758 protoplanetary disk

S. Marino, S. Casassus, S. Perez +5

The formation of planetesimals requires that primordial dust grains grow from micron- to km-sized bodies. Dust traps caused by gas pressure maxima have been proposed as regions whe…

CO gas inside the protoplanetary disk cavity in HD 142527: disk structure from ALMA

Sebastian Perez, S. Casassus, F. Ménard +6

Inner cavities and annular gaps in circumstellar disks are possible signposts of giant planet formation. The young star HD 142527 hosts a massive protoplanetary disk with a large c…

Observations of gas flows inside a protoplanetary gap

Simon Casassus, Gerrit van der Plas, Sebastian Perez M. +16

Gaseous giant planet formation is thought to occur in the first few million years following stellar birth. Models predict that giant planet formation carves a deep gap in the dust…
