HD 169142 in the eyes of ZIMPOL/SPHERE

G. H. -M. Bertrang, H. Avenhaus, S. Casassus +5

We present new data of the protoplanetary disc surrounding the Herbig Ae/Be star HD 169142 obtained in the very broad-band (VBB) with the Zurich imaging polarimeter (ZIMPOL), a sub…

ALMA observations of Elias 2-24: a protoplanetary disk with multiple gaps in the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud

Lucas A. Cieza, Simon Casassus, Sebastian Perez +21

We present ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations at 0.2" (25 au) resolution of Elias 2-24, one of the largest and brightest protoplanetary disks in the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud, and…

The circumstellar disk HD169142: gas, dust and planets acting in concert?

A. Pohl, M. Benisty, P. Pinilla +33

HD169142 is an excellent target to investigate signs of planet-disk interaction due to the previous evidence of gap structures. We performed J-band (~1.2μm) polarized intensity…

Direct mapping of the temperature and velocity gradients in discs. Imaging the vertical CO snow line around IM Lupi

C. Pinte, F. Menard, G. Duchene +14

Accurate measurements of the physical structure of protoplanetary discs are critical inputs for planet formation models. These constraints are traditionally established via complex…

Dynamical models to explain observations with SPHERE in planetary systems with double debris belts

C. Lazzoni, S. Desidera, F. Marzari +66

A large number of systems harboring a debris disk show evidence for a double belt architecture. One hypothesis for explaining the gap between the belts is the presence of one or mo…

Three years of SPHERE: the latest view of the morphology and evolution of protoplanetary discs

Antonio Garufi, Myriam Benisty, Tomas Stolker +11

Spatially resolving the immediate surroundings of young stars is a key challenge for the planet formation community. SPHERE on the VLT represents an important step forward by incre…

A 80 au cavity in the disk around HD 34282

G. van der Plas, F. Menard, H. Canovas +5

Context: Large cavities in disks are important testing grounds for the mechanisms proposed to drive disk evolution and dispersion, such as dynamical clearing by planets and photo-e…

Spectral and atmospheric characterization of 51 Eridani b using VLT/SPHERE

M. Samland, P. Mollière, M. Bonnefoy +37

51 Eridani b is an exoplanet around a young (20 Myr) nearby (29.4 pc) F0-type star, recently discovered by direct imaging. Being only 0.5" away from its host star it is well suited…
