Chemical Models of Circumstellar Disks [PDF]
We investigate the evolution of molecular abundances in circumstellar disks around young stars via numerical simulations. The results are compared with the composition of comets and radio observations of protoplanetary disks. First, we consider the molecular evolution in the midplane of the disk.

Observations of circumstellar disks in scattered light with SPHERE at the VLT
The technological developments initiated in the early 21$^{\rm st}$ century have led to the implementation of “planet finders” instruments on 8-m class telescopes which are in operation since 2014-2015. Such facilities are at the inception of significant

Young protostellar binary systems, with expected ages less than ∼10 ^5 yr, are little modified since birth, providing key clues to binary formation and evolution. We present a first look at the young, Class 0 binary protostellar system R CrA IRAS 32 from

Takeout and Delivery: Erasing the Dusty Signature of Late-stage Terrestrial Planet Formation
The formation of planets like Earth is expected to conclude with a series of late-stage giant impacts that generate warm dusty debris, the most anticipated visible signpost of terrestrial planet formation in progress.

ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

Protoplanetary disk evolution can be deeply influenced by the UV radiation emitted by neighboring massive stars (mainly of spectral types O and B). We show that the process of external photoevaporation , which causes an outside-in depletion of disk ...

Observations of circumstellar disks [PDF]
AbstractIn this review I will present recent results obtained between 2005, which was the last “Be-stars” meeting in Sapporo, and 2010, on the observations of circumstellar disks around active hot stars.

Chemical History of Molecules in Circumstellar Disks [PDF]
AbstractThe chemical composition of a protoplanetary disk is determined not only by in situ chemical processes during the disk phase, but also by the history of the gas and dust before it accreted from the natal envelope. In order to understand the disk's chemical composition at the time of planet formation, especially in the midplane, one has to go ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

We present high-resolution (∼0 $\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime\prime} }$ 05; 8 au) dust continuum and molecular line observations toward the Class I protostellar system IRAS 04169+2702 in the Taurus B213 region, as part of the Atacama Large Millimeter ...
