Characterizing the chemistry of complex organic molecules (COMs) at the epoch of planet formation provides insights into the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) and…
FAUST XVII: Super deuteration in the planet forming system IRS 63 where the streamer strikes the disk
L. Podio, C. Ceccarelli, C. Codella +55
Recent observations suggest that planets formation starts early, in protostellar disks of yrs, which are characterized by strong interactions with the environment, e.g.,…
Constraints on the gas-phase C/O ratio of DR Tau's outer disk from CS, SO, and CH observations
Jane Huang, Edwin A. Bergin, Romane Le Gal +4
Millimeter wavelength observations of Class II protoplanetary disks often display strong emission from hydrocarbons and high CS/SO values, providing evidence that the gas-phase C/O…
