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 …

Constraining dust properties of planet-forming disks via high-angular-resolution
observations is fundamental to understanding how solids are trapped in substructures and …

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. The specific location from where molecules emit in a protoplanetary disk depends
on the system properties. Therefore, directly constraining the emitting regions radially …

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 …

High spatial resolution CO observations of midinclination (≈ 30–75) protoplanetary disks
offer an opportunity to study the vertical distribution of CO emission and temperature. The …

Constraining the physical and chemical structure of young embedded disks is crucial for
understanding the earliest stages of planet formation. As part of the Early Planet Formation …
