Constraining the Nature of the PDS 70 Protoplanets with VLTI/GRAVITY∗

JJ Wang, A Vigan, S Lacour, M Nowak… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present K-band interferometric observations of the PDS 70 protoplanets along with their
host star using VLTI/GRAVITY. We obtained K-band spectra and 100 μas precision …

On the diversity of asymmetries in gapped protoplanetary disks

N Van der Marel, T Birnstiel, A Garufi… - The Astronomical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Protoplanetary disks with large inner dust cavities are thought to host massive planetary or
substellar companions. These disks show asymmetries and rings in the millimeter …

Disk evolution study through imaging of nearby young stars (DESTINYS): late infall causing disk misalignment and dynamic structures in SU Aur

C Ginski, S Facchini, J Huang, M Benisty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gas-rich circumstellar disks are the cradles of planet formation. As such, their evolution will
strongly influence the resulting planet population. In the ESO DESTINYS large program, we …

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). XIX. Spiral arms, a tail, and diffuse structures traced by CO around the GM Aur disk

J Huang, EA Bergin, KI Öberg… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The concentric gaps and rings commonly observed in protoplanetary disks in millimeter
continuum emission have lent the impression that planet formation generally proceeds …

[HTML][HTML] Kinematics and brightness temperatures of transition discs-A survey of gas substructures as seen with ALMA

L Wölfer, S Facchini, N van der Marel… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org

circumstellar discs have revealed a variety of morphologies, naturally triggering the question …

Protoplanetary disks in Ks-band total intensity and polarized light

BB Ren, M Benisty, C Ginski, R Tazaki… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. The diverse morphology among protoplanetary disks may result from planet-disk
interactions, suggesting the presence of planets undergoing formation. The characterization …

A search for a fifth planet around HR 8799 using the star-hopping RDI technique at VLT/SPHERE

Z Wahhaj, J Milli, C Romero, L Cieza, A Zurlo… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Direct imaging of extrasolar giant planets demands the highest possible contrasts
(ΔH≳ 10 mag) at the smallest angular separations (∼ 0.1 ″) from the star. We present an …

Searching for Hα-emitting sources in the gaps of five transitional disks-SPHERE/ZIMPOL high-contrast imaging

N Huélamo, G Chauvin, I Mendigutía, E Whelan… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context.(Pre-) Transitional disks show gaps and cavities that can be related to ongoing
planet formation. According to theory, young embedded planets can accrete material from …
