Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). XXIV: Systematic Investigation of Disk Structures based on Visibility Analysis
Mayank Narang, Jerry Xu, Leslie W. Looney +11
The dust continuum emission from young protostellar disks encodes key information about their mass distribution and early evolution, yet uniform high-resolution comparative studies…
Nascent Embedded-protostar Survey in Taurus (NEST) I: Protostellar Multiplicity
Aislinn C. Plante, John J. Tobin, Patrick D. Sheehan +5
We present new ALMA 0.9 mm and VLA 9 mm observations in the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC) of 25 protostellar systems, containing 40 protostars, observed at 0.3" (~20 au) resolution.…
Nascent Embedded-protostar Survey in Taurus (NEST) II: Measuring Dust Mass, Disk Size, and Gas Mass
Noshin Yesmin, Patrick Sheehan, John Tobin +6
Envelope-embedded protostellar disks represent the earliest stage of protoplanetary disk evolution, but their masses and sizes are difficult to measure because disk emission is ent…
Magneto-Gravitational Regulated Streamer Accretion onto a Class 0 Protostellar System
Bo Huang, Josep M. Girart, Ian W. Stephens +17
How do magnetic fields shape the way young stars gather gas from their birth clouds? Using high-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a young trip…
Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). XIX. Structures of molecular outflows
Anton Feeney-Johansson, Yuri Aikawa, Shigehisa Takakuwa +13
As part of the ALMA Large Program "Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks" (eDisk), 12CO (2 - 1) was observed towards 19 nearby low-mass protostars. Of these objects, 15 sources…
Azimuthal Dust Polarization from Aerodynamically Aligned Grains as Evidence for the Streaming Instability in Protoplanetary Disks
Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Jeonghoon Lim, Jacob B. Simon +8
(Sub)millimeter dust polarization in protoplanetary disks has revealed the presence of large (~ 100 um) dust grains that are aligned along their long axis following the azimuthal d…
