Hunting for methanol in the water rich, planet forming disk around HL Tau
Alessandro Soave, Margot Leemker, Stefano Facchini +3
Methanol, the simplest complex organic molecule found in space, is considered a key compound necessary for the formation of chemical species of prebiotic interest. Methanol detecti…
Towards ALMA2040: An update from the European community and invitation to contribute
Stefano Facchini, Jacqueline Hodge, Jes Jørgensen +27
Over the last 15 years, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has revolutionized astrophysics by providing unprecedented resolution and sensitivity in observing t…
Warps survive beyond fly-by encounters in protoplanetary disks. RW Aur A as a case study
C. N. Kimmig, P. Weber, G. P. Rosotti +2
Stellar fly-bys can have multiple dynamical effects on protoplanetary disks, including warping and the excitation of spiral arms. Since observations indicate that warps are common,…
True spin-orbit obliquities distribution: data-driven confirmation of no clustering of misaligned planets
Alessandro Matteo Rossi, Monica Rainer, Francesco Borsa +1
Context. True spin-orbit obliquities Ψ offer valuable insights into the evolutionary history of exoplanetary systems. Previous studies have suggested that exoplanets tend to occup…
