JWST/MIRI Imaging Search for Kinematically Detected Protoplanetary Candidates

The Origin of the Doppler-flip in HD 100546: a large scale spiral arm generated by an inner binary companion

Brodie J. Norfolk, Christophe Pinte, Josh Calcino +9

Companions at sub-arcsecond separation from young stars are difficult to image. However their presence can be inferred from the perturbations they create in the dust and gas of pro…

A dusty filament and turbulent CO spirals in HD135344B-SAO206462

Simon Casassus, Valentin Christiaens, Miguel Carcamo +16

Planet-disc interactions build up local pressure maxima that may halt the radial drift of protoplanetary dust, and pile it up in rings and crescents. ALMA observations of the HD135…

Planet migration, resonant locking and accretion streams in PDS70: Comparing models and data

Claudia Toci, Giuseppe Lodato, Valentin Christiaens +4

The disc surrounding PDS 70, with two directly imaged embedded giant planets, is an ideal laboratory to study planet-disc interaction. We present three-dimensional smoothed particl…

Non-Keplerian spirals, a gas-pressure dust trap and an eccentric gas cavity in the circumbinary disc around HD 142527

Himanshi Garg, Christophe Pinte, Valentin Christiaens +7

We present ALMA observations of the CO, CO, CO J=2-1 transitions and the 1.3\,mm continuum emission for the circumbinary disc around HD 142527, at an angular r…

Are the spiral arms in the MWC 758 protoplanetary disc driven by a companion inside the cavity?

Josh Calcino, Valentin Christiaens, Daniel J. Price +4

Spiral arms in protoplanetary discs are thought to be linked to the presence of companions. We test the hypothesis that the double spiral arm morphology observed in the transition…
