XUE. ProDiMo models of internally and externally irradiated planet-forming disks around 0.3-4.0 solar mass stars (The IRIS project I)

Jenny Frediani, Konstantin V. Getman, Peter Woitke +18

Most stars and planets form in massive star-forming regions, where disks are exposed to external far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation from nearby O- and B-type stars. The combined effec…

A Particle-based Approach to Dust Dynamics in External Photoevaporative Winds

S. Paine, T. J. Haworth, R. P. Nelson

Planet-forming discs in sufficiently strong UV environments lose gas in external photoevaporative winds. Dust can also be entrained within these winds, which has consequences for t…

How the microphysical properties of external photoevaporation influence the global evolution of protoplanetary discs

Gavin A. L. Coleman, Thomas J. Haworth, Lin Qiao

External photoevaporation is one of the dominant mechanisms for mass loss from protoplanetary discs. However this mass loss is theoretically expected to depend upon the microphysic…

Investigating dusty Red Supergiant outflows in Westerlund 1 with 3D Hydrodynamic simulations

C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, T. J. Haworth +1

Recent JWST observations towards Westerlund 1 revealed extensive nebular emission associated with the cluster. Given the age of the region and proximity of that material to massive…

A possible trail of dust from a young, highly-extincted brown dwarf in the outskirts of the Trapezium Cluster

Thomas J. Haworth, Mark J. McCaughrean, Samuel G. Pearson +1

We present the JWST discovery of a highly-extincted () candidate brown dwarf (M) in the outskirts of the Trapezium Cluster that appears to be coincide…

Impact of photoevaporative winds in chemical models of externally irradiated protoplanetary disks

Luke Keyte, Thomas J. Haworth

Most stars form in dense clusters within high-mass star-forming regions, where protoplanetary disks may be exposed to intense UV radiation from nearby massive stars. While previous…

Thermal emission from bow shocks. III. Variable diffuse X-ray emission from stellar-wind bow shocks driven by dynamical instabilities

Jonathan Mackey, Arun Mathew, Ahmad A. Ali +5

X-ray emission from wind-driven bow shocks is both difficult to measure and predict, but may give important insights into the energy budget of the hot phase of the ISM by quantifyi…

A New Look at Disk Winds and External Photoevaporation in the -Orionis Cluster

K. Maucó, C. F. Manara, A. Bayo +12

Disk winds play a crucial role in the evolution of protoplanetary disks. Typical conditions for star and planet formation are in regions with intermediate or strong UV radiation fi…

A multi-ion non-equilibrium solver for ionised astrophysical plasmas with arbitrary elemental abundances

Arun Mathew, Jonathan Mackey, Maggie Celeste +2

While many astrophysical plasmas can be modelled successfully assuming ionisation and thermal equilibrium, in some cases this is not appropriate and a non-equilibrium approach is r…
