An ALMA view on molecular complexity: water, methanol, and methyl formate in the HD 100546 and IRS 48 disks
Luna Rampinelli, Stefano Facchini, Marta De Simone +6
Water and methanol are the fundamental constituents of interstellar and cometary ices: understanding their abundances in disks is therefore of high importance to reveal how this ic…
Bridging the gap between stars and planets
Aina Palau, Dimitris Stamatellos, Matthew Bate +58
The formation mechanisms of brown dwarfs (BDs) and free-floating planets (FFPs) are poorly constrained. The two main competing scenarios include the star-like scenario, where these…
Chemistry on solar system scales
Catherine Walsh, Maria Drozdovskaya, Dmitry Semenov +33
The initial chemical composition of planets, primitive bodies in our solar system, and exoplanets is ultimately set by their nascent protoplanetary disks. Yet observing key carbon-…
Planet formation on solar system scales
Francesco Zagaria, Andrés F. Izquierdo, Jaehan Bae +32
Giant planets are often regarded as primordial protoplanetary "architects". Their formation and interactions with planetesimals and other planets during and after the protoplanetar…
JWST/MIRI Imaging Search for Kinematically Detected Protoplanetary Candidates
G. Cugno, M. Benisty, R. Teague +32
Kinematic perturbations observed with ALMA in CO line emission provide evidence for a population of embedded giant protoplanets shaping the structure of protoplanetary disks. We pr…
Dust Substructures and Line Perturbations driven by a Forming Planet in J16120
Anibal Sierra, Andrés F. Izquierdo, Paola Pinilla +18
Hints of planet formation have been independently reported within the gap of the disc around 2MASS J16120668-301027 from millimetre continuum, infrared, and H-alpha observations. I…
Mapping the WISPIT2 Planet-Hosting Cavity at Sub-Hill-Radius scales
Myriam Benisty, Stefano Facchini, Richard Teague +6
We present new deep, very high angular resolution observations of the sub-mm continuum (19x13 mas) and 12CO (67x52 mas) emission from the disk surrounding the planet host WISPIT2.…
Dust characterization of the HD 163296 disk with high-resolution multi-wavelength ALMA observations
Kiyoaki Doi, Myriam Benisty, Akimasa Kataoka +10
Context. Planets form through the growth and accumulation of dust grains in protoplanetary disks. Characterizing dust properties such as size, surface density, and temperature is k…
An analysis of the Herbig star population and their protoplanetary disks within 1 kpc
L. M. Stapper, M. Vioque, A. J. Winter +6
Herbig stars are intermediate mass pre-main sequence stars of 1.5 to ~M and are in between low and high-mass star formation. This work provides a catalog of all 243…
A closer look at the WISPIT 2 host star. Evidence for a spectroscopic binary
Cade J. Bürgy, Myriam Benisty, Hala Alqubelat +2
While hundreds of protoplanetary discs have been studied in great detail, the detection of protoplanets still embedded in their native discs remains rare. WISPIT 2 is only the seco…
A Streamer Driving Misalignment in the Circumtriple Disk of GW Ori
Maria Galloway-Sprietsma, Jaehan Bae, Toni Phillips +5
GW Orionis is a triple stellar system with a disk featuring three misaligned dust rings. We present ALMA molecular line data of CO isotopologues, revealing a streamer feeding the d…
Interpreting the scattering surface in protoplanetary disks
Massimiliano Bolchini, Giovanni Rosotti, Marion Villenave +5
In recent years, extreme adaptive optics have enabled high-resolution, high-contrast scattered-light observations of protoplanetary disks. Interpreting these observations requires…
Azimuthal molecular variations in the AB Aur planet-forming disk
Haochang Jiang, Dmitry Semenov, Myriam Benisty +5
Late infall episodes are emerging as an important driver of disk evolution. Observed as filamentary streamers in molecular lines and scattered light, such accretion perturbs disk s…
MINDS: Complementary inclinations in the binary system HK Tau reveal gas- and ice-phase chemistry
Alice Somigliana, Giulia Perotti, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +18
[Abridged] HK Tau is a roughly equal mass pre-main sequence binary system consisting of a low-inclination primary (57 deg) and an edge-on (83 deg) secondary. We present JWST/MIRI o…
Two inner dust clumps in PDS 70. A third protoplanet traced by trojan material or a substructured inner disk?
O. Balsalobre-Ruza, V. Christiaens, N. Huélamo +18
The PDS 70 cavity hosts two confirmed directly imaged protoplanets and a third inner planet candidate at 13au, labeled PDS 70 d. Despite its Keplerian motion, its unusually blue sp…
An archival summary: 15 years of ALMA observations on disks and planet formation
Nicolas T. Kurtovic, Lizxandra Flores-Rivera, Laura M. Perez +15
The Atacama Large (sub-)millimeter Array (ALMA) has been in scientific operations for almost 15 years. We celebrate this achievement by providing a summary of the ``Disks and plane…
