The Little Dippers: Transits of Star-grazing Exocomets?

Megan Ansdell, Eric Gaidos, Tom L. Jacobs +9

We describe EPIC 205718330 and EPIC 235240266, two systems identified in the K2 data whose light curves contain episodic drops in brightness with shapes and durations similar to th…

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…

The ALMA Lupus protoplanetary disk survey: evidence for compact gas disks and molecular rings from CN

S. E. van Terwisga, E. F. van Dishoeck, P. Cazzoletti +10

The cyanide radical CN is abundant in protoplanetary disks, with line fluxes often comparable to those of CO. It is known to be sensitive to UV irradiation of the upper disk…

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…

Why do protoplanetary disks appear not massive enough to form the known exoplanet population?

C. F. Manara, A. Morbidelli, T. Guillot

When and how planets form in protoplanetary disks is still a topic of discussion. Exoplanet detection surveys and protoplanetary disk surveys are now providing results that allow u…
