C I Traces the Disk Atmosphere in the IM Lup Protoplanetary Disk

Charles J. Law, Felipe Alarcón, L. Ilsedore Cleeves +2

The central star and its energetic radiation fields play a vital role in setting the vertical and radial chemical structure of planet-forming disks. We present observations that, f…

ALMA Observations of Supernova Remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. II. Non-LTE Analysis of Shock-heated Molecular Clouds

H. Sano, Y. Yamane, J. Th. van Loon +28

We present the first compelling evidence of shock-heated molecular clouds associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using CO( =…

A JWST inventory of protoplanetary disk ices: The edge-on protoplanetary disk HH 48 NE, seen with the Ice Age ERS program

J. A. Sturm, M. K. McClure, T. L. Beck +24

Ices are the main carriers of volatiles in protoplanetary disks and are crucial to our understanding of the chemistry that ultimately sets the organic composition of planets. The E…

MAPS: Constraining Serendipitous Time Variability in Protoplanetary Disk Molecular Ion Emission

Abygail R. Waggoner, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Ryan A. Loomis +12

Theoretical models and observations suggest that the abundances of molecular ions in protoplanetary disks should be highly sensitive to the variable ionization conditions set by th…

Tracing snowlines and C/O ratio in a planet-hosting disk: ALMA molecular line observations towards the HD169142 disk

Alice S. Booth, Charles J. Law, Milou Temmink +2

The composition of a forming planet is set by the material it accretes from its parent protoplanetary disk. Therefore, it is crucial to map the chemical make-up of the gas in disks…

Constraining the gas distribution in the PDS 70 disk as a method to assess the effect of planet-disk interactions

B. Portilla-Revelo, I. Kamp, S. Facchini +7

Embedded planets are potentially the cause of substructures like gaps and cavities observed in several protoplanetary disks. Thus, the substructures observed in the continuum and i…
