Observations of protoplanetary disk structures

SM Andrews - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Protoplanetary disk chemistry

KI Öberg, S Facchini… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Planets form in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The disk molecular reservoirs and
their chemical evolution affect all aspects of planet formation, from the coagulation of dust …

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). I. Program overview and highlights

KI Öberg, VV Guzmán, C Walsh, Y Aikawa… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Planets form and obtain their compositions in dust-and gas-rich disks around young stars,
and the outcome of this process is intimately linked to the disk chemical properties. The …

Kinematic evidence for an embedded protoplanet in a circumstellar disk

C Pinte, DJ Price, F Ménard, G Duchêne… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Disks of gas and dust surrounding young stars are the birthplace of planets. However, the
direct detection of protoplanets forming within disks has proved elusive to date. We present …

Molecules with ALMA at planet-forming scales (MAPS). III. Characteristics of radial chemical substructures

Meridional flows in the disk around a young star

R Teague, J Bae, EA Bergin - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Protoplanetary disks are known to possess a variety of substructures in the distribution of
their millimetre-sized grains, predominantly seen as rings and gaps, which are frequently …

Kinematic detection of a planet carving a gap in a protoplanetary disk
