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 …

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

We explore the dynamical structure of the protoplanetary disks surrounding HD 163296 and
MWC 480 as part of the Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) large …

The final architecture of planetary systems depends on the extraction of angular momentum
and mass-loss processes of the discs in which they form. Theoretical studies proposed that …

Planets form in dusty, gas-rich disks around young stars, while at the same time, the planet
formation process alters the physical and chemical structure of the disk itself. Embedded …

Sulfur-bearing molecules play an important role in prebiotic chemistry and planet
habitability. They are also proposed probes of chemical ages, elemental C/O ratio, and grain …

We present an overview and first results from a M-band spectroscopic survey of planet-
forming disks performed with iSHELL on the Infrared Telescope Facility, using two slits that …

The chemical reservoir within protoplanetary disks has a direct impact on planetary
compositions and the potential for life. A long-lived carbon-and nitrogen-rich chemistry at …

We show that the distribution of observed accretion rates is a powerful diagnostic of
protoplanetary disc physics. Accretion due to turbulent ('viscous') transport of angular …

Constraining the distribution of gas and dust in the inner 20 au of protoplanetary disks is
difficult. At the same time, this region is thought to be responsible for most planet formation …
