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 …

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 …

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 …

Context. Water is a key molecule in the physics and chemistry of star and planet formation,
but it is difficult to observe from Earth. The Herschel Space Observatory provided …

Recent observations of extrasolar gas giants suggest super-stellar C/O ratios in planetary
atmospheres, while interior models of observed extrasolar giant planets additionally suggest …

CO 2 sequestration carried by biological methodologies shows enhanced potential and has
the advantage that biomass produced from the captured CO 2 can be used for different …

Molecular line observations are powerful tracers of the physical and chemical conditions
across the different evolutionary stages of star, disk, and planet formation. The high angular …

The elemental composition of the gas and dust in a protoplanetary disk influences the
compositions of the planets that form in it. We use the Molecules with ALMA at Planet …

We present a synergic study of protoplanetary disks to investigate links between inner-disk
gas molecules and the large-scale migration of solid pebbles. The sample includes 63 disks …

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 …
