The origin and evolution of transition discs: Successes, problems, and open questions
JE Owen - Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2016 - cambridge.org
Transition discs are protoplanetary discs that show evidence for large holes or wide gaps
(with widths comparable to their radii) in their dust component. These discs could be giving …

Kinematic evidence for an embedded protoplanet in a circumstellar disk
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 …

Nine localized deviations from Keplerian rotation in the DSHARP circumstellar disks: kinematic evidence for protoplanets carving the gaps
We present evidence for localized deviations from Keplerian rotation, ie, velocity" kinks," in 8

Breeding super-Earths and birthing super-puffs in transitional disks
The riddle posed by super-Earths (1–4R⊕, 2–20M⊕) is that they are not Jupiters: their core
masses are large enough to trigger runaway gas accretion, yet somehow super-Earths …

Circumbinary, not transitional: on the spiral arms, cavity, shadows, fast radial flows, streamers, and horseshoe in the HD 142527 disc
We present 3D hydrodynamical models of the HD 142527 protoplanetary disc, a bright and
well-studied disc that shows spirals and shadows in scattered light around a 100 au gas …
