Resonant multi-lane patterns in circumbinary young debris disks
Authors: Demidova Tatiana V. , Shevchenko Ivan I. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractFormation of resonant multi-lane patterns in circumbinary young debris disks with planets is considered in a set of representative massively simulated models. We find that the long term-stable resonant patterns are generically formed, shepherded by embedded planets. The patterns are multi-lane, i.e., they consist of several concentric rings. Statistical dependences of their parameters on the planetary parameters are recovered. Relevant additional massive simulations of planetesimal disks in systems with parameters of Kepler-16, 34, and 35 are accomplished and described. We find that co-orbital patterns generically form in systems with moderate orbital eccentricities of the binary’s and planetary orbits (like in Kepler-16 and 35 cases).
Electromagnetic induction heating of planets orbiting late M dwarfs
Authors: Kislyakova Kristina G. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractWe propose induction heating of planetary interiors as an energy source in the planetary mantles. Induction heating arises when a changing magnetic field induces currents in a conducting planetary mantle which then dissipate to heat the planet, mostly within an upper layer called the skin depth. This physical process can play a role in planetary interiors around strongly magnetized stars such as low mass M dwarfs with kG magnetic fields, which are common among these stars.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe low-mass end of the initial mass function remains poorly understood. In this mass range, very low-mass stars, brown dwarfs, and massive planets are able to form through a variety of physical processes. Here, we study the long-term evolution of disk-fragmented systems around low-mass stars, for the epoch up to 10 Myr (the typical lifetime of an embedded cluster) and up to 10 Gyr (the age of the Milky Way). We carry out N-body simulations to study the decay of disk-fragmented systems and the resulting end products. Our simulations indicate rapid decay and frequent physical collisions during the first 10 Myr. We find that disk fragmentation provides a viable mechanism for explaining hierarchical triple systems, the brown dwarf desert, single and binary brown dwarfs, and very low-mass binary systems in the solar neighbourhood.
The first 200 kyr of the Solar System: making the planetary material diversity
Authors: Pignatale Francesco C. , Charnoz Sébastien , Chaussidon Marc , Jacquet Emmanuel 
Published: January 2020

AbstractChondrites are made of a mixture of solids formed at high and low temperatures. This heterogeneity was thought to be produced by large scale transport processes in the Sun’s isolated accretion disk. However, mounting evidences suggest that refractory inclusions in chondrites were produced together with the disk formation.We present numerical simulations of the formation and transport of rocky materials during the collapse of the Solar Nebula’s parent cloud and the consequent disk assembling.We find that the interplay between the cloud collapse, the dynamics of gas and dust and thermal processing of different species in the disk, results in a local mixing of solids with different thermal histories. Our simulations return an heterogeneous distribution of refractory material with higher concentration in the outer disk. This refractory material has a short formation timescales, during the first tens of kyr of the Sun (class 0-I). Our results open new frontiers into the origin of the compositional diversity of chondrites.
Discovery of a primordial water reservoir in the envelope of HH 211
Authors: Dionatos Odysseas 
Published: January 2020

AbstractWe report on the detection of a rich water reservoir in the protostellar envelope of the Class 0 source HH211. In striking contrast to all other molecules detected with Herschel/PACS, water emission peaks around the central source where both ortho and para forms are detected. The measured ortho-to-para ratio of just 0.65 indicates formation of water-ice at very low temperatures and a non-destructive photo-desorption process around the protostar. While part of the H2O emission is likely related to collisional excitation, the centralized morphology around the protostar suggests that radiative excitation is also significant, despite the fact that radiation appears to have a very different impact on the H2O molecules when compared to the terminal outflow shocks. The very low ortho-to-para ratio suggests that H2O around the protostar originates from primordial envelope material that has never been thermally processed before.
Heating mechanisms in accretion disks around young stellar objects
Authors: Andrade Natália F.S. , de Campos Rafael Rechiche , Jatenco-Pereira Vera 
Published: January 2020

AbstractAccretion disks are observed around young stellar objects such as T Tauri stars. In order to complete the star formation, particles in the disk need to loose angular momentum in order to be accreted into the central object. The magneto-rotational instability (MRI) is probably the mechanism responsible for a magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence that leads to disk accretion, which implies the disk particles to be coupled with the magnetic filed lines. As the temperature in the disk is low, we considered, besides the viscous heating mechanism often included in the models by means of the α - prescription, the damping of Alfvén waves as an additional heating source. In particular, we show that the mechanism derived that couples the turbulent and non-linear damping mechanisms of Alfvén waves proved to be very efficient, generating temperatures almost one order of magnitude higher than those mechanisms considered independently.
Resolving the origin of hydrogen-line emission in YSOs with near-infrared interferometry

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe origin of the Brγ-line emission in Herbig Ae/Be stars is still an open question and might be related e.g., to a disc wind or the stellar magnetosphere. The study of the continuum and Brγ-emitting region of Herbig Ae/Be stars with high-spectral and high-spatial resolution gives great insights into the sub-au scale hydrogen gas distribution.We observed the Herbig Be star MWC 120 with the VLTI/AMBER instrument in different spectral channels across the Brγ line with a spectral resolution of R~1500. Using radiative transfer modeling we found a radius of the line emitting region of ~0.4 au that is only two times smaller than the K-band continuum region. This is consistent with a disc wind scenario rather than an origin of magnetospheric emission.We present near-infrared AMBER (R~12000) observations of the Herbig B[e] star MWC297 in the Brγ-line. We found that the near-infrared continuum emission is ~3.6 times more compact than the expected dust-sublimation radius, possibly indicating the presence of highly refractory dust grains or optically thick gas emission in the inner disk. Our velocity-resolved channel maps marking the first time that kinematic effects in the sub-AU inner regions of a protoplanetary disk could be directly imaged.
The common origin of family and non-family asteroids: Implications for meteorites and NEAs
Authors: Dermott Stanley F. , Li Dan , Christou Apostolos A. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe observed size-frequency distributions (SFDs) of the five major asteroid families in the Inner Main Belt (IMB), defined by Nesvorný (2015) using the Hierarchical Clustering Method (Zappala et al. 1990), are distinctly different and deviate significantly from the linear log-log relation described by Dohnanyi (1969). The existence of these differences in the SFDs, and the fact that the precursor bodies of the major families have distinctly different eccentricities and inclinations, provides an explanation for the observations that the mean sizes of both the family and the non-family asteroids are correlated with their mean proper eccentricities and anti-correlated with their mean proper inclinations. We deduce from this, and from the fact that the SFDs of the family and the non-family asteroids are almost identical, that the family and most of the non-family asteroids in the IMB have a common origin (Dermott et al. 2018).
Chemistry in carbon-rich protoplanetary disks: Effect of carbon grain destruction
Authors: Wei Chen-En , Nomura Hideko , Lee Jeong-Eun , Ip Wing-Huen , Walsh Catherine , Millar T. J. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe Earth is dramatically carbon poor comparing to the interstellar medium and the proto-sun. The carbon to silicon ratios in inner solar system objects show a correlation with heliocentric distance, which suggests that the destruction of carbon grains has occurred before planet formation. To examine this hypothesis, we perform model calculations using a chemical reaction network under the physical conditions typical of protoplanetary disks. Our results show that, when carbonaceous grains are destroyed and converted into the gas phase and the gas becomes carbon-rich, the abundances of carbon-bearing species such as HCN and carbon-chain molecules, increase dramatically near the midplane, while oxygen-bearing species such as H2O and CO2 are depleted. The carbon to silicon ratios obtained by our model calculations qualitatively reproduce the observed gradient with disk radius, but there are some quantitative discrepancies from the observed values of the solar system objects. We adopted the model of a disk around a Herbig Ae star and performed line radiative transfer calculations to examine the effect of carbon grain destruction through observations with ALMA. The results indicate that HCN, H13 CN and c-C3 H2 may be good tracers of this process.
Planetary Systems in Star Clusters: the dynamical evolution and survival

Published: January 2020

AbstractMost stars form in crowded stellar environments. Such star forming regions typically dissolve within ten million years, while others remain bound as stellar groupings for hundreds of millions to billions of years, and then become the open clusters or globular clusters that are present in our Milky Way galaxy today. A large fraction of stars in the Galaxy hosts planetary companions. To understand the origin and dynamical evolution of such exoplanet systems, it is necessary to carefully study the effect of their environments. Here, we combine theoretical estimates with state-of-the-art numerical simulations of evolving planetary systems similar to our own solar system in different star cluster environments. We combine the planetary system evolution code, and the star cluster evolution code, integrated in the multi-physics environment. With our study we can constrain the effect of external perturbations of different environments on the planets and debris structures of a wide variety of planetary systems, which may play a key role for the habitability of exoplanets in the Universe.
Water inventory from beyond the Jupiter’s orbit to the terrestrial planets and the Moon
Authors: Marov Mikhail Ya. , Ipatov Sergei I. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractComputer simulations of migration of planetesimals from beyond the Jupiter’s orbit to the terrestrial planets have been made. Based on obtained arrays of orbital elements of planetesimals and planets during the dynamical lifetimes of planetesimals, we calculated the probabilities of collisions of planetesimals with planets, the Moon, and their embryos. The results of calculations showed that for the total mass of planetesimals of about 200 Earth masses, the mass of water delivered to the Earth from beyond the orbit of Jupiter could be about the mass of the terrestrial oceans. For the growth of the mass of the Earth embryo up to a half of the present mass of the Earth, the mass of water delivered to the embryo could be up to 30% of all water delivered to the Earth from the zone of Jupiter and Saturn. The water of the terrestrial oceans and its D/H ratio could be the result of mixing of water from several exogenic and endogenic sources with large and low D/H ratios. The ratio of the mass of water delivered from beyond the orbit of Jupiter to a planet to the mass of the planet for Venus, Mars, and Mercury was not smaller than that for the Earth. The mass of water in planetesimals that collided the Moon and migrated from beyond the Jupiter’s orbit could be not more than 20 times smaller than that for the Earth.

Published: January 2020

AbstractSelf-Consistent 2D modelling of stellar wind interaction with the upper atmosphere of WASP-12b has been performed. The two case-scenarios of the planetary material escape and interaction with the stellar wind, namely the ‘blown by the wind’ (without the inclusion of tidal force) and ‘captured by the star’ (with the tidal force) have been modelled under different stellar XUV radiations and stellar wind parameters. In the first scenario, a shock is formed around the planet, and the planetary mass loss is controlled completely by the stellar radiation energy input. In the second scenario, the mass loss is mainly due to the gravitational interaction effects. The dynamics of MGII and related absorption were modelled with three sets of different stellar wind parameters and XUV flux values.
3D shape of Orion A with Gaia DR2 An informed view on Star Formation Rates and Efficiencies
Authors: Großschedl Josefa E. , Alves João , Meingast Stefan , Hasenberger Birgit 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe giant molecular cloud Orion A is the closest massive star-forming region to earth (d ∼ 400 pc). It contains the rich Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) in the North, and low-mass star-forming regions (L1641, L1647) to the South. To get a better understanding of the differences in star formation activity, we perform an analysis of the gas mass distribution and star formation rate across the cloud. We find that the gas is roughly uniformly distributed, while, oddly, the ONC region produced about a factor of ten more stars compared to the rest of the cloud. For a better interpretation of this phenomenon, we use Gaia DR2 parallaxes, to analyse distances of young stellar objects, using them as proxy for cloud distances. We find that the ONC region indeed lies at about 400 pc while the low-mass star-forming parts are inclined about 70∘ from the plane of the sky reaching until ∼470 pc. With this we estimate that Orion A is an about 90 pc long filamentary cloud (about twice as long as previously assumed), with its “Head” (the ONC region) being “bent” and oriented towards the galactic mid-plane. This striking new view allows us to perform a more robust analysis of this important star-forming region in the future.
Constraints from zoom-in simulations on the protostellar accretion process
Authors: Kuffmeier Michael 
Published: January 2020

AbstractStars are embedded in different environments of Giant Molecular Clouds during their formation phase. Despite this fact, it is common practice to assume an isolated spherical core as the initial condition for models of individual star formation. To avoid the uncertainties of initial and boundary conditions, we use an alternative approach of zoom-in simulations to account for the environment in which protostars form. Our models show that injections of 26Al from a close-by supernova into the young solar system were highly unlikely. Moreover, we find that the accretion process of protostars is heterogeneous and environment-dependent.
RCW98: a dust enshrouded HII region
Authors: Ehlerová Soňa , Zychová Lenka , Palouš Jan , Wünsch Richard 
Published: January 2020

AbstractRCW 98 is an HII region with an active star formation in its immediate neighbourhood. At least three early-type stars ionize it and it contains the bright rimmed cloud. Our observations of this region in the optical regime shows that RCW 98 is a complex and dynamical region. We have created a simple model of the dust distribution in this object, but it is not fully consistent with the optical observations. We also study the effects of ionizing stars on the dust.
Constraining the stellar energetic particle flux in young solar-like stars
Authors: Rab Ch. , Padovani M. , Güdel M. , Kamp I. , Thi W-F. , Woitke P. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractAnomalies in the abundance measurements of short lived radionuclides in meteorites indicate that the protosolar nebulae was irradiated by a large number of energetic particles (E&#x2273; 10 MeV), often called solar cosmic rays. The particle flux of the contemporary Sun cannot explain these anomalies, but, similar to T Tauri stars, the young Sun was more active and probably produced enough high energy particles. However, the stellar particle (SP) flux of young stars is essentially unknown. We model the impact of high-energy ionization sources on the chemistry of the circumstellar environment (disks and envelopes). The model includes X-ray radiative transfer and makes use of particle transport models to calculate the individual molecular hydrogen ionization rates. We study the impact on the chemistry via the ionization tracers HCO+ and N2H+. We argue that spatially resolved observations of those molecules combined with detailed models allow for disentangling the contribution of the individual high-energy ionization sources and to put constraints on the SP flux in young stars.

AbstractOur ALMA observations of HCO+ and HCN show such redshifted absorption toward an isolated core, BHR 71. Both lines show a similar redshifted absorption profile. We also found emissions of complex organic molecules (COMs) around 345 GHz from a compact region centered on the continuum source, which is barely resolved with a beam of 0&Prime;27, corresponding to &#x223C;50 AU.
Envelope-to-disk mass transport in the FUor-type young eruptive star V346 Normae

Published: January 2020

AbstractHaving disk-to-star accretion rates on the order of 10-4M&odot;/yr, FU Orionis-type stars (FUors) are thought to be the visible examples for episodic accretion. FUors are often surrounded by massive envelopes, which replenish the disk material and enable the disk to produce accretion outbursts. We observed the FUor-type star V346 Nor with ALMA at 1.3 mm continuum and in different CO rotational lines. We mapped the density and velocity structure of its envelope and analyzed the results using channel maps, position-velocity diagrams, and spectro-astrometric methods. We discovered a pseudo-disk and a Keplerian disk around a 0.1 M&odot; central star. We determined an infall rate from the envelope onto the disk of 6&times;10-6M&odot;/yr, a factor of few higher than the quiescent accretion rate from the disk onto the star. This hints for a mismatch between the infall and accretion rates as the cause of the eruption.
Characterization and Properties of Earth-like Planets
Authors: Apai Dániel 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe search for life in the Universe is intertwined with studies of extrasolar planets aimed at identifying and understanding habitable rocky planets, including those similar in size, bulk composition, planetary environment, and evolution to Earth. The past five years have seen dramatic progress in our understanding of the small (1–4 REarth) planet population. Here we briefly review key results on the occurrence rates of small planets, the first evidence for compositional diversity of these worlds, early results on the characterization of their atmospheres, and the progress toward finding and interpreting potentially habitable planets orbiting the closest stars. We also briefly highlight next steps in furthering our understanding of the origins and properties of habitable worlds.
Prestellar Core Collisions - Impact on the formation of the CMF? A case study on FeSt 1-457
Authors: Herbst-Kiss Gabor I. , Alves Joao 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe initial mass function (IMF) is a profoundly studied subject, however its origin is still unclear and heavily disputed. The Core Mass Function (CMF) has a remarkable resemblance to a shifted IMF along the mass axis of a factor of 3. This CMF has been observed amongst others in the Pipe Nebula, a calm molecular cloud at approximately 130 pc. We study the origin of the CMF under the assumption that collisions and merging of prestellar cores shape the CMF. We present our preliminary results of core collisions for the well known FeSt 1-457.

Published: January 2020

AbstractRecently a large number of Galactic cold clumps were located with the Planck all-sky survey. Our radio line observations have revealed the distribution and physical properties of the interstellar medium in dozens of PGCC sources. Clumps can be affected by many external effects. HCL1 (a.k.a. L1251) and HCL2 (which contains also TMC-1) are examples of low mass star forming clouds in violent and quiet environments.
Deuteration of formaldehyde - an important precursor of hydrogenated complex organic molecules - during star formation in our Galaxy

Published: January 2020

AbstractFormaldehyde (H2CO) and its deuterated forms can be produced both in the gas phase and on grain surfaces. However, the relative importance of these two chemical pathways is unclear. Our recent single dish observation of formaldehyde and its deuterated species suggests that they form mostly on grain surfaces although some gas-phase contribution is expected at the warm HMPO stage. Since the single dish beam is larger, and since these high-mass star-forming regions are clustered and complex, it is however unclear whether the emission arises from the protostellar sources or from starless/pre-stellar cores associated with them. Therefore, interferometric observations are needed to separate the emission originating from the small and dense cores, to disentangle their formation routes and then being able to use them as powerful diagnostic tools of the physical and chemical properties of high-mass star forming regions.
Star formation in the solar neighbourhood
Authors: Juvela Mika 
Published: January 2020

AbstractStar formation started as a cosmic process soon after the big bang and still continues in the Milky Way, although at a decreasing rate. The formation of dense interstellar clouds, their fragmentation and eventual collapse lead to the birth of stars. The nearby clouds provide the highest resolution for the study of this process. The progress is closely following the improvement of the infrared and radio-wavelength facilities that enables us to follow even the earliest stages of the star-formation process inside molecular clouds. On the other hand, modern numerical simulations can take into account most of the relevant physics and often provide a more direct access into the general principles of star formation. The comparison of observations and simulations is therefore essential. In this paper, will discuss star formation in the solar neighbourhood, concentrating on the prestellar phases leading up to the formation of protostars.
