Proto-planetary discs, the birth environment of planets, are an example of a structure
commonly found in astrophysics, accretion discs. Identifying the mechanism responsible for …

Interstellar interlopers are bodies formed outside of the Solar System but observed passing
through it. The first two identified interlopers, 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, exhibited …

Context. The infall of gas from outside natal cores has proven to feed protostars after the
main accretion phase (Class 0). This changes our view of star formation to a picture that …

Context. Constraining the turbulence level and pebble size in protoplanetary disks is an
essential initial step in understanding the aerodynamic properties of pebbles, which are …

We present an ACA search for [C i] 1–0 emission at 492 GHz toward large T Tauri disks (gas
radii≳ 200 au) in the∼ 1–3 Myr-old Lupus star-forming region. Combined with Atacama …

The chemical reservoir within protoplanetary disks has a direct impact on planetary
compositions and the potential for life. A long-lived carbon-and nitrogen-rich chemistry at …

Dust particle sizes constrained from dust continuum and polarization observations by radio
interferometry are inconsistent by at least an order of magnitude. Motivated by porous dust …

Context. The evolution of protoplanetary disks is regulated by an interplay of several
processes, either internal to the system or related to the environment. As most of the stars …

A general theory of planet formation has been a topic of intense study over many years. The
interest in such a theory emerges naturally from asking the question of where our planet …

Planetary population synthesis is a helpful tool to understand the physics of planetary
system formation. It builds on a global model, meaning that the model has to include a …
