Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) XVII: Determining the 2D Thermal Structure of the HD 163296 Disk
Jenny K. Calahan, Edwin A. Bergin, Ke Zhang +26
Understanding the temperature structure of protoplanetary disks is key to interpreting observations, predicting the physical and chemical evolution of the disk, and modeling planet…
Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) XII: Inferring the C/O and S/H ratios in Protoplanetary Disks with Sulfur Molecules
Romane Le Gal, Karin I. Öberg, Richard Teague +24
Sulfur-bearing molecules play an important role in prebiotic chemistry and planet habitability. They are also proposed probes of chemical ages, elemental C/O ratio, and grain chemi…
Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) XI: CN and HCN as Tracers of Photochemistry in Disks
Jennifer B. Bergner, Karin I. Oberg, Viviana V. Guzman +23
UV photochemistry in the surface layers of protoplanetary disks dramatically alters their composition relative to previous stages of star formation. The abundance ratio CN/HCN has…
Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) I: Program Overview and Highlights
Karin I. Oberg, Viviana V. Guzman, Catherine Walsh +35
Planets form and obtain their compositions in dust and gas-rich disks around young stars, and the outcome of this process is intimately linked to the disk chemical properties. The…
Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) XVI: Characterizing the impact of the molecular wind on the evolution of the HD 163296 system
Alice S. Booth, Benoit Tabone, John D. Ilee +26
During the main phase of evolution of a protoplanetary disk, accretion regulates the inner-disk properties, such as the temperature and mass distribution, and in turn, the physical…
An ALMA Survey of Chemistry in Disks around M4-M5 Stars
Jamila Pegues, Karin I. Oberg, Jennifer B. Bergner +10
M-stars are the most common hosts of planetary systems in the Galaxy. Protoplanetary disks around M-stars thus offer a prime opportunity to study the chemistry of planet-forming en…
