Efficient planet formation by pebble accretion in ALMA rings

H Jiang, CW Ormel - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
In the past decade, ALMA observations have revealed that a large fraction of protoplanetary
discs contains rings in the dust continuum. These rings are the locations where pebbles …

A clear view of a cloudy brown dwarf companion from high-resolution spectroscopy

JW Xuan, J Wang, JB Ruffio, H Knutson… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Direct imaging studies have mainly used low-resolution spectroscopy (R∼ 20–100) to study
the atmospheres of giant exoplanets and brown dwarf companions, but the presence of …

The mass of β Pictoris c from β Pictoris b orbital motion
