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 …

High dust density in the midplane of protoplanetary disks is favorable for efficient grain
growth and can allow fast formation of planetesimals and planets, before disks dissipate …

The Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) Large Program provides a
detailed, high-resolution (∼ 10–20 au) view of molecular line emission in five protoplanetary …

While dust disks around optically visible, Class II protostars are found to be vertically thin,
when and how dust settles to the midplane are unclear. As part of the Atacama Large …

Context. Recent observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) have shown
that the large dust aggregates observed at millimeter wavelengths settle to the midplane into …

Protoplanetary disks exhibit a vertical gradient in angular momentum, rendering them
susceptible to the vertical shear instability (VSI). The most important condition for the onset …

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 …

Characterizing the physical properties of dust grains in a protoplanetary disk is critical to
comprehending the planet formation process. Our study presents Atacama Large Millimeter …

Abstract Herbig Ae/Be stars are young contracting stars on the radiative track in the HR
diagram on their way to the main sequence. These stars provide a valuable link between …
