Accretion Only Planet Formation Models will Slowly be Replaced by Hydrodynamic Hybrid Models…
“Our results demonstrate that even intermediate-mass protoplanets — less detectable, but more ubiquitous, than super-Jupiters — are capable of indirectly inducing large-scale spiral disk features, and underscore the importance of including radiation physics in efforts to reproduce observations.” Reference: Can gap-edge illumination excite spirals in protoplanetary disks? Three-temperature radiation hydrodynamics and NIR image modelling Dhruv…

Very-Low-Mass Star ISO-Chal 147 with Abundant Hydrocarbons in Protoplanetary Disk
ISO-Chal-1471 is a young, low-mass star located approximately 600 light-years away from Earth. ISO-Chal 147 is located in the Chamaeleon I star-forming cloud. It is a red dwarf star, which is a type of star that is very common in the Milky Way and burns through fuel slowly. Here are the key points from recent…

Dracula’s Chivito (IRAS 23077+6707) Largest Known Protoplanetary Disk with Carbon-Based Molecules
Dracula’s Chivito, also known as IRAS 23077+6707, is the largest known disk of its kind. It was discovered during a study of active galactic nucleus candidates using images from the Pan-STARRS research project. This edge-on disk completely obscures its central star and is associated with an infrared light source in the same region of the sky.…

Star TW Hydrae with Protoplanetary Disc
TW Hydrae is a young T Tauri star located about 196 light-years away in the constellation Hydra. It is surrounded by a protoplanetary disk. Protoplanetary Disk Chemical Composition The TW Hydrae disk provides a detailed look at the chemical environment where planets are forming, with clear evidence of snow lines, dust evolution, and volatile depletion…
