exoALMA XXII: A Two-dimensional Atlas of Deviations from Keplerian Disks
Misato Fukagawa, Andrés F. Izquierdo, Jochen Stadler +35
Protoplanetary disks are the birthplaces of planetary systems, and deviations from Keplerian rotation imprinted in disk gas kinematics serve as key tracers of physical processes an…
exoALMA XXI: The Morphology and Dynamics of Vertical Flows
Myriam Benisty, Andres F. Izquierdo, Jochen Stadler +33
Vertical gas flows, such as winds and meridional circulations, are natural outcomes of protoplanetary disk processes and play a critical role in the earliest stages of planet forma…
ExoALMA XIII. gas masses from N2H+ and C18O: a comparison of protoplanetary gas disk mass measurement techniques
Leon Trapman, Cristiano Longarini, Giovanni P. Rosotti +37
The gas masses of protoplanetary disks are important but elusive quantities. In this work we present new ALMA observations of N2H+ (3-2) for 11 exoALMA disks. N2H+ is a molecule se…
exoALMA VII: Benchmarking Hydrodynamics and Radiative Transfer Codes
Jaehan Bae, Mario Flock, Andres Izquierdo +25
Forward modeling is often used to interpret substructures observed in protoplanetary disks. To ensure the robustness and consistency of the current forward modeling approach from t…
exoALMA. VI. Rotating under Pressure: Rotation curves, azimuthal velocity substructures, and pressure variations
Jochen Stadler, Myriam Benisty, Andrew J. Winter +36
The bulk motion of the gas in protoplanetary disks around newborn stars is nearly Keplerian. By leveraging the high angular and spectral resolution of ALMA, we can detect small-sca…
exoALMA. XVII. Characterizing the Gas Dynamics around Dust Asymmetries
Lisa Wölfer, Marcelo Barraza-Alfaro, Richard Teague +31
The key planet-formation processes in protoplanetary disks remain an active matter of research. One promising mechanism to radially and azimuthally trap millimeter-emitting dust gr…
