We present deep, high-resolution (100 mas) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) Ka-band (9.1 mm) observations of the disk around MWC 480, and infer dust properties through a…
The centimeter emission from planet-forming disks in Taurus
Antonio Garufi, Carlos Carrasco-Gonzalez, Enrique Macias +16
The last decade has witnessed remarkable advances in the characterization of the (sub-)millimeter emission from planet-forming disks. Instead, the study of the (sub-)centimeter emi…
High Resolution ALMA Observations of Richly Structured Protoplanetary Disks in Orionis
Jane Huang, Megan Ansdell, Tilman Birnstiel +5

Small and Large Dust Cavities in Disks around mid-M Stars in Taurus
Yangfan Shi, Feng Long, Gregory J. Herczeg +10
High-angular resolution imaging by ALMA has revealed the near-universality and diversity of substructures in protoplanetary disks. However, disks around M-type pre-main-sequence st…
JWST-MIRI Spectroscopy of Warm Molecular Emission and Variability in the AS 209 Disk
Carlos E. Romero-Mirza, Karin I. Öberg, Andrea Banzatti +24
We present MIRI MRS observations of the large, multi-gapped protoplanetary disk around the T-Tauri star AS 209. The observations reveal hundreds of water vapor lines from 4.9 to 25…
Water-Rich Disks around Late M-stars Unveiled: Exploring the Remarkable Case of Sz114
Chengyan Xie, Ilaria Pascucci, Feng Long +18
We present an analysis of the JDISC JWST/MIRI-MRS spectrum of Sz~114, an accreting M5 star surrounded by a large dust disk with a shallow gap at au. The spectrum is molec…
High-contrast JWST-MIRI spectroscopy of planet-forming disks for the JDISC Survey
Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Colette Salyk, Andrea Banzatti +26
The JWST Disk Infrared Spectral Chemistry Survey (JDISCS) aims to understand the evolution of the chemistry of inner protoplanetary disks using the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) o…
Dual-Band Observations of the Asymmetric Ring around CIDA 9A: Dead or Alive?
Daniel Harsono, Feng Long, Paola Pinilla +9
While the most exciting explanation of the observed dust asymmetries in protoplanetary disks is the presence of protoplanets, other mechanisms can also form the dust features. This…
UV-Optical Emission of AB Aur b is Consistent with Scattered Stellar Light
Yifan Zhou, Brendan P. Bowler, Haifeng Yang +12
The proposed protoplanet AB Aur b is a spatially concentrated emission source imaged in the mm-wavelength disk gap of the Herbig Ae/Be star AB Aur. Its near-infrared spectrum and a…
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…
The Effect of Dust Evolution and Traps on Inner Disk Water Enrichment
Anusha Kalyaan, Paola Pinilla, Sebastiaan Krijt +6
Substructures in protoplanetary disks can act as dust traps that shape the radial distribution of pebbles. By blocking the passage of pebbles, the presence of gaps in disks may hav…
JWST reveals excess cool water near the snowline in compact disks, consistent with pebble drift
Andrea Banzatti, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, John Carr +19
Previous analyses of mid-infrared water spectra from young protoplanetary disks observed with the Spitzer-IRS found an anti-correlation between water luminosity and the millimeter…
Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). Complex Kinematics in the AS 209 Disk Induced by a Forming Planet and Disk Winds
Maria Galloway-Sprietsma, Jaehan Bae, Richard Teague +19
We study the kinematics of the AS 209 disk using the J=2-1 transitions of CO, CO, and CO. We derive the radial, azimuthal, and vertical velocity of the gas, ta…
