In recent years, ALMA has observed large-scale substructures in protoplanetary disks. By extending the configuration of ALMA, it is possible to detect and resolve disk substructures opened by Earth-mass and super-Earth planets.
In recent years, ALMA has been able to observe large-scale substructures within protoplanetary disks. Comparison with the predictions from models of planet-disk interactions has indicated that most of these disk substructures can be explained by the presence of planets with the mass of Neptune or larger at orbital radii of approximate to 5-100 au. Better resolution is needed to observe structures closer to the star, where terrestrial planets are expected to form, as well as structures opened by planets with masses lower than Neptune. We investigate the capabilities of a possible extension to ALMA that would double the longest baseline lengths in the array to detect and resolve disk substructures opened by Earth-mass and super-Earth planets at orbital radii of 1-5 au. By simulating observations of a family of disk models using this extended configuration in ALMA Bands 6 and 7, we show that an upgraded ALMA would detect gaps in disks formed by super-Earths as close as 1 au, as well as Earth-mass planets down to 2-3 au from the young host stars in nearby star-forming regions.
