Tracing Accretion and Inner-Disk Gas Evolution in the Orion Nebula via Br-alpha and CO

Konstantin V. Getman, Maria Claudia Ramirez-Tannus, Jenny Frediani +17

We present a systematic spectroscopic study of hydrogen Brackett-alpha (Br-alpha) and carbon monoxide (CO) fundamental-band (4.3-5.2 micron) emission from a homogeneous sample of 0…

Chandra-JWST Probing the Effects of Moderate X-Ray Superflares on Protoplanetary Disks

Konstantin V. Getman, Kevin L. Luhman, Bayron Portilla-Revelo +17

Powerful X-ray flares from young stars may rapidly alter the physical and chemical conditions of their planet-forming disks, but direct observational tests remain scarce. We presen…

Laboratory Evidence that Methanol-Rich Ice Mantles Lower Methyl Formate Binding Energies

Rachel E. Gross, Jeroen Terwisscha van Scheltinga, L. Ilsedore Cleeves +5

Complex organic molecules are widely detected in star-forming regions and are important precursors to prebiotic species. Because these molecules are thought to form primarily withi…

Mapping Molecular Ion Distributions in a Diverse Sample of Protoplanetary Disks

Deryl E. Long, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Charles J. Law +10

Observations of ionization-tracing molecules in protoplanetary disks suggest that their ionization environments are diverse due to varying degrees of cosmic ray modulation, stellar…

The ALMA View of the Edge-on Gomez's Hamburger System: A Highly-Dynamic, Asymmetric Protoplanetary Disk Reveals the Earliest Phases of Giant Planet Formation

Charles J. Law, Jensen Lawrence, Richard Teague +18

Chemical tracers provide some of the strongest observational signatures of ongoing planet formation and localized dynamical perturbations in protoplanetary disks. In particular, su…

SMA Observations Reveal Abundant HNC Chemistry in Transition Disks

Kyle Gresko, Charles J. Law, Deryl E. Long +8

The physical and chemical conditions of protoplanetary disks shape the properties of nascent planetary systems. The line ratios and relative abundances of the HCN-HNC isomer pair a…
