The Carbon Isotopic Ratio and Planet Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first detection of ^13 CCH in a protoplanetary disk (TW Hya). Using observations of C _2 H, we measure CCH/ ^13 CCH = 65 ± 20 gas with a CO isotopic ratio of ^12 CO/ ^13 CO = 21 ± 5.

Breathing Life Into Dead-Zones

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The terrestrial planet formation regions of protoplanetary disks are generally sufficiently cold to be con- sidered non-magnetized and, consequently, dynamically inactive.

exoALMA XXII: A Two-dimensional Atlas of Deviations from Keplerian Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Protoplanetary disks are the birthplaces of planetary systems, and deviations from Keplerian rotation imprinted in disk gas kinematics serve as key tracers of physical processes and the presence of protoplanets within disks.

A tension between dust and gas radii: The role of substructures and external photoevaporation in protoplanetary disks

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Protoplanetary disk substructures are thought to play a crucial role in disk evolution and planet formation. Population studies of disks large-sample size surveys show that not only substructure, but also their rapid formation, are needed to ...

On the Interpretation of Velocity Residuals in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present a first-order analytical model for line-of-sight velocity residuals, defined as the difference between observed velocities and those predicted by a fiducial model, assuming a flared, nearly axisymmetric disk with the perturbations in disk ...

exoALMA. XXI. The Morphology and Dynamics of Vertical Flows

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Vertical gas flows—such as winds and meridional circulations—are natural outcomes of protoplanetary disk processes and play a critical role in the earliest stages of planet formation.

JWST Imaging of Edge-on Protoplanetary Disks. II. Appearance of Edge-on Disks with a Tilted Inner Region: Case Study of IRAS04302+2247

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present James Webb Space Telescope imaging from 2 to 21 μ m of the edge-on protoplanetary disk around the embedded young star IRAS04302+2247. The structure of the source shows two reflection nebulae separated by a dark lane.

Substructure in externally irradiated protoplanetary disks

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
It is known that the external irradiation of protoplanetary disks by nearby massive stars can result in mass loss that impacts the disk evolution, however the dynamical impact of external irradiation upon the disk itself has not been explored in detail ...

Planet Formation Regulated by Galactic-scale Interstellar Turbulence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Planet formation occurs over a few Myr within protoplanetary disks of dust and gas, which are often assumed to evolve in isolation. However, extended gaseous structures have been uncovered around many protoplanetary disks, suggestive of late-stage infall
