Astrometric view of companions in the inner dust cavities of protoplanetary disks
Miguel Vioque, Richard A. Booth, Enrico Ragusa +16
Protoplanetary disks with inner dust cavities (often referred to as "transition disks") are potential signposts of planet formation. We use Gaia astrometry to search for planetary…
Zooming into the water snowline: high resolution water observations of the HL Tau disk
M. Leemker, S. Facchini, P. Curone +4
Water is one of the central molecules for the formation and habitability of planets. In particular, the region where water freezes-out, the water snowline, could be a favorable loc…
Detectability of resolved hydrogen lines from the accretion shock at gas giants and their circumplanetary discs
Gabriel-Dominique Marleau, Thomas Henning, Roy van Boekel +3
Fewer gas giants have been caught in their accretion phase than mature ones are known. Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) instruments will have a higher sensitivity and a smaller inne…
Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young Stars (DESTINYS): V721 CrA and BN CrA have wide and structured disks in polarised IR

We present near-infrared scattered-light observations of the disks around two stars of the Corona Australis star-forming region, V721 CrA, and BN CrA, obtained with VLT/SPHERE, in…
Direct Measurement of Extinction in a Planet-Hosting Gap
G. Cugno, S. Facchini, F. Alarcon +12
Recent disk observations have revealed multiple indirect signatures of forming gas giant planets, but high-contrast imaging has rarely confirmed the presence of the suspected pertu…

We present a dynamical analysis of the HD 169142 planet-forming disk based on high-contrast polarimetric imaging over a twelve-year observational period, offering insights into its…
Puffed-up Inner Rings and Razor-thin Outer Rings in Structured Protoplanetary Disks
Haochang Jiang, Feng Long, Enrique Macías +8
The vertical distribution of pebbles in protoplanetary disks is a fundamental property influencing planet formation, from dust aggregation to the assembly of planetary cores. In th…
Radiative Transfer Modeling of a Shadowed Protoplanetary Disk assisted by a Neural Network
Jonathan P. Williams, Myriam Benisty, Christian Ginski +2
We present observations and detailed modeling of a protoplanetary disk around the T Tauri star, V1098 Sco. Millimeter wavelength data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)…
Multi dust species inner rim in magnetized protoplanetary disks
Mario Flock, Ondřej Chrenko, Takahiro Ueda +3
The inner regions of protoplanetary disks, within ten astronomical units, are where terrestrial planets are born. By developing a new class of multi-dust radiative magnetized inner…
exoALMA. XVIII. Interpreting large scale kinematic structures as moderate warping
Andrew J. Winter, Myriam Benisty, Andrés F. Izquierdo +28
The exoALMA program gave an unprecedented view of the complex kinematics of protoplanetary disks, revealing diverse structures that remain poorly understood. We show that moderate…
Leaky dust trap in the PDS 70 disk revealed by ALMA Band 9 observations
Anibal Sierra, Myriam Benisty, Paola Pinilla +13
We present new observations of the PDS 70 disc obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) in Band 9 (671 GHz) at 0.242 resolution, whic…
Grand Design Spiral Arms in the Compact, Embedded Protoplanetary Disk of Haro 6-13
Jane Huang, Masataka Aizawa, Jaehan Bae +6
Millimeter continuum spiral arms have so far only been detected in a handful of protoplanetary disks, and thus we have a limited understanding of the circumstances in which they ca…
SO emission in the dynamically perturbed protoplanetary disks around CQ Tau and MWC 758
Francesco Zagaria, Haochang Jiang, Gianni Cataldi +25
We report the serendipitous detection of the SO (219.949 GHz) rotational transition in archival Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of th…
Inner disc and circumplanetary material in the PDS 70 system
Daniele Fasano, Myriam Benisty, Pietro Curone +13
The two giant protoplanets directly imaged in the dust-depleted cavity of PDS 70 offer a unique opportunity to study ongoing planet formation. Both planets have been detected in in…
ExoALMA XIII. gas masses from N2H+ and C18O: a comparison of protoplanetary gas disk mass measurement techniques
Leon Trapman, Cristiano Longarini, Giovanni P. Rosotti +37
The gas masses of protoplanetary disks are important but elusive quantities. In this work we present new ALMA observations of N2H+ (3-2) for 11 exoALMA disks. N2H+ is a molecule se…
