First Detection of HC5N in a Class II Disk around TW Hya

Steven C. Wampler, Ryan A. Loomis, Amina Diop +9

Over the last decade of ALMA's operation the molecular inventory of protoplanetary disks has expanded rapidly, revealing a diverse set of nitrogen-bearing organics and carbon-chain…

FAUST XXIX. OCS line emission: a new method for measuring the luminosity of embedded protostars in binary systems

Guillaume Saury, Vittorio Bariosco, Cecilia Ceccarelli +19

The luminosity of embedded protostars is commonly measured via observations of the dust continuum spectral energy distribution from millimetre to infrared wavelengths. However, thi…

Evidence for Jet/Outflow Shocks Heating the Environment Around the Class I Protostellar Source Elias 29: FAUST XXI

Yoko Oya, Eri Saiga, Anna Miotello +1

We have observed the late Class I protostellar source Elias~29 at a spatial-resolution of 70~au with the Atacama~Large~Millimeter/submillimeter~Array (ALMA) as part of the FAUST La…

Anatomy of the Class I protostar L1489 IRS with NOEMA -- I. Disk, streamers, outflow(s) and bubbles at 3mm

M. Tanious, R. Le Gal, R. Neri +7

Over the past few years, chemical studies have revealed multiple structures in the vicinity of young stellar objects (YSOs). It has become evident that specific physical conditions…

AB Aur, a Rosetta stone for studies of planet formation (II): HS detection and sulfur budget

Pablo Rivière-Marichalar, Asunción Fuente, Gisela Esplugues +7

The sulfur abundance is poorly known in most environments. Yet, deriving the sulfur abundance is key to understanding the evolution of the chemistry from molecular clouds to planet…

Chemical and Physical Characterization of the Isolated Protostellar Source CB68: FAUST. IV

Muneaki Imai, Yoko Oya, Brian Svoboda +1

Chemical diversity of low-mass protostellar sources has so far been recognized, and environmental effects are invoked as its origin. In this context, observations of isolated proto…

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) XIII: HCO and disk ionization structure

Yuri Aikawa, Gianni Cataldi, Yoshihide Yamato +25

We observed HCO and HCO emission towards the five protoplanetary disks around IM Lup, GM Aur, AS 209, HD 163296, and MWC 480 as part of the MAPS proj…

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). X. Studying deuteration at high angular resolution toward protoplanetary disks

Gianni Cataldi, Yoshihide Yamato, Yuri Aikawa +26

Deuterium fractionation is dependent on various physical and chemical parameters. Thus, the formation location and thermal history of material in the solar system is often studied…
