Astrochemistry and compositions of planetary systems

Karin I. Oberg et al.

Summary: This article discusses the role of chemical compositions in planet-forming disks in regulating planetary compositions and their impact on the hospitality to life and chemical origins. The chemical structures of disks are governed by a combination of in situ chemical processes and inheritance of molecules from the preceding evolutionary stages of star formation.

The 12CO/13CO isotopologue ratio of a young, isolated brown dwarf Possibly distinct formation pathways of super-Jupiters and brown dwarfs

Yapeng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the relationship between atmospheric characteristics and formation pathways by measuring the carbon isotope ratio of a young, isolated brown dwarf. The findings show a difference in isotopologue ratio compared to super-Jupiters, suggesting potential variations in formation pathways.

Isotope effect on the sublimation curves and binding energies of 12CO and 13CO interstellar ice analogues

Lucas R. Smith et al.

Summary: This study experimentally determined the binding energies of CO-C-12 and CO-C-13 in interstellar ice analogues, finding a systematic difference that shows CO-C-13 is more tightly bound than CO-C-12 in the ice phase. These results could have significant implications for CO isotopic enrichment in astrophysical environments.

Discovery of Molecular-line Polarization in the Disk of TW Hya

Richard Teague et al.

Summary: Observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array detected polarized line and continuum emission from the disk of TW Hya. Linear polarization was found in the dust continuum emission as well as in the (CO)-C-12 and (CO)-C-13 line emission, with the polarization showing an azimuthal morphology and changing sign between the blueshifted and redshifted sides. The study also tentatively detected polarization in the CS emission, suggesting a complex and asymmetric polarization morphology.

Arthur D. Bosman et al.

Summary: The elemental composition of gas and dust in a protoplanetary disk affects the compositions of the planets forming within it, with findings indicating that the C/O ratios, O/H, and C/H ratios in the gas are sub-stellar, leading to a high C/O ratio in the atmospheres of these planets.

A solar C/O and sub-solar metallicity in a hot Jupiter atmosphere

Michael R. Line et al.

Summary: Measurements of the atmospheric carbon and oxygen relative to hydrogen in hot Jupiters provide insights into their formation location and migration. Hot Jupiters with C/O ratios near 1 and subsolar metallicities may have migrated post disk-dissipation, while those with C/O < 0.5 and super-solar metallicities may have migrated through the disk before dissipation.

High Spatial Resolution Observations of Molecular Lines toward the Protoplanetary Disk around TW Hya with ALMA

Hideko Nomura et al.

Summary: The study used high spatial resolution dust continuum observations and molecular line observations to confirm the physical and chemical structure models of the TW Hya disk, revealing specific gas and dust distributions in different parts of the disk. Significant differences in gas composition and intensity were observed at different radii within the disk. The research is important for understanding the disk-star system interaction in the process of planetary formation.

The 13CO-rich atmosphere of a young accreting super-Jupiter

Yapeng Zhang L et al.

Summary: Isotope abundance ratios play a crucial role in astronomy and planetary sciences, offering insights into various aspects such as the origin and evolution of the Solar System, interstellar chemistry, and stellar nucleosynthesis. Carbon isotope ratios in the Solar System are relatively constant, but can vary on a galactic scale. Observation of (CO)-C-13 in the atmosphere of a young accreting super-Jupiter suggests substantial enrichment in C-13, possibly acquired from ices enriched in C-13 through fractionation.

Modeling Nitrogen Fractionation in the Protoplanetary Disk around TW Hya: Model Constraints on Grain Population and Carbon-to-oxygen Elemental Abundance Ratio

Seokho Lee et al.

Summary: Observations of the protoplanetary disk around TW Hya show nitrogen fractionation of HCN molecules, with a ratio increasing outwards, potentially due to differences in small dust grain distribution between outer and inner disk regions. The developed disk model successfully reproduces these observations by incorporating isotope-selective photodissociation of N-2 and isotope-exchange chemical reactions.

The TW Hya Rosetta Stone Project. III. Resolving the Gaseous Thermal Profile of the Disk

Jenny K. Calahan et al.

Summary: The study focuses on constraining the thermal structure of the protoplanetary disk TW Hya using CO line images, finding that CO alone is not a viable mass tracer due to degeneracy with total H-2 surface density. Different mass models can readily match spatially resolved CO line profiles.
