Variable Outer Disk Shadowing Around the Dipper Star RX J1604.3-2130
P. Pinilla, M. Benisty, J. de Boer +6
Low brightness dips have been recently observed in images of protoplanetary disks, and they are believed to be shadows by the inner disk. We present VLT/SPHERE polarimetric differe…
The Ring Structure in the MWC 480 Disk Revealed by ALMA
Yao Liu, Giovanni Dipierro, Enrico Ragusa +20
Gap-like structures in protoplanetary disks are likely related to planet formation processes. In this paper, we present and analyze high resolution (0.17*0.11 arcsec) 1.3 mm ALMA c…
Observational diagnostics of elongated planet-induced vortices with realistic planet formation timescales
Michael Hammer, Paola Pinilla, Kaitlin M. Kratter +1
Gap-opening planets can generate dust-trapping vortices that may explain some of the latest discoveries of high-contrast crescent-shaped dust asymmetries in transition discs. While…
Evolution of protoplanetary disks from their taxonomy in scattered light: spirals, rings, cavities, and shadows
Antonio Garufi, Myriam Benisty, Paola Pinilla +11
The variety of observed protoplanetary disks in polarimetric light motivates a taxonomical study to constrain their evolution and establish the current framework of this type of ob…
Science with an ngVLA: Tracing the Water Snowline in Protoplanetary disks with the ngVLA
Ke Zhang, Edwin A. Bergin, Jonathan P. Williams +1
The water snowline in protoplanetary disks is one of the most pivotal locations for planet formation: it sets a critical boundary of chemical composition in the disk and likely ser…
Gaps and Rings in an ALMA Survey of Disks in the Taurus Star-forming Region
Feng Long, Paola Pinilla, Gregory J. Herczeg +23
Rings are the most frequently revealed substructure in ALMA dust observations of protoplanetary disks, but their origin is still hotly debated. In this paper, we identify dust subs…
Evidence for a massive dust-trapping vortex connected to spirals: a multi-wavelength analysis of the HD~135344B protoplanetary disk
P. Cazzoletti, E. F. van Dishoeck, P. Pinilla +6
Spiral arms, rings and large scale asymmetries are structures observed in high resolution observations of protoplanetary disks, and it appears that some of the disks showing spiral…
Shadows and asymmetries in the T Tauri disk HD 143006: Evidence for a misaligned inner disk
M. Benisty, A. Juhasz, S. Facchini +13
While planet formation is thought to occur early in the history of a protoplanetary disk, the presence of planets embedded in disks, or of other processes driving disk evolution, m…
Diverse protoplanetary disk morphology produced by a Jupiter-mass planet
Jaehan Bae, Paola Pinilla, Tilman Birnstiel
Combining hydrodynamic planet-disk interaction simulations with dust evolution models, we show that protoplanetary disks having a giant planet can reveal diverse morphology in (sub…
Discovery of a planetary-mass companion within the gap of the transition disk around PDS 70
M. Keppler, M. Benisty, A. Müller +123
Young circumstellar disks are of prime interest to understand the physical and chemical conditions under which planet formation takes place. Only very few detections of planet cand…
Resolved millimeter-dust continuum cavity around the very low mass young star CIDA 1
Paola Pinilla, Antonella Natta, Carlo F. Manara +3
Context. Transition disks (TDs) are circumstellar disks with inner regions highly depleted in dust. TDs are observed in a small fraction of disk-bearing objects at ages of 1-10 Myr…
First direct detection of a polarized companion outside of a resolved circumbinary disk around CS Cha
C. Ginski, M. Benisty, R. G. van Holstein +18
In the present study we aim to investigate the circumstellar environment of the spectroscopic binary T Tauri star CS Cha. From unresolved mid- to far-infrared photometry it is pred…
Homogeneous Analysis of the Dust Morphology of Transition Disks Observed with ALMA: Investigating dust trapping and the origin of the cavities
P. Pinilla, M. Tazzari, I. Pascucci +11
We analyze the dust morphology of 29 transition disks (TDs) observed with ALMA at (sub-) millimeter-emission. We perform the analysis in the visibility plane to characterize the to…
