Observations of protoplanetary disk structures

SM Andrews - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Nine localized deviations from Keplerian rotation in the DSHARP circumstellar disks: kinematic evidence for protoplanets carving the gaps

C Pinte, DJ Price, F Ménard, G Duchêne… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present evidence for localized deviations from Keplerian rotation, ie, velocity" kinks," in 8

A stellar mass dependence of structured disks: a possible link with exoplanet demographics

N van der Marel, GD Mulders - The Astronomical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation.
However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a …

A two-stage formalism for common-envelope phases of massive stars

R Hirai, I Mandel - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a new simple formalism to predict the orbital separations after common-
envelope phases with massive-star donors. We focus on the fact that massive red …
