ALMA Cycle 8 deadline in T-1 hrs: keep the numbers coming...

'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' was released 19 years ago #OnThisDay, June 2002.

😲 !?!?460 km!?!? 😲

If you are interested in protoplanetary disc sizes measured with CO emissions, don't miss this new paper led by my university colleague Università degli Studi di Milano and close friend, Alessia Rota, now PhD student Universiteit Leiden! arxiv.org/abs/2201.03588

I know her!! Alice Somigliana

Thrilled to visit Flatiron CCA !

😂😂😎

Are you interested in triple systems? Check out the latest paper led by my colleague Simone Ceppi, ⁦Nicolás Cuello⁩ and ⁦Dustbusters⁩ ! Through (very cool) numerical simulations, they investigate accretion rates in triple systems! 🚀🚀 arxiv.org/abs/2205.08784

Could a giant planet be shaping the protoplanetary disc of CIDA 1? If this question sparks your interest, don’t miss Pietro Curone’s new paper: arxiv.org/abs/2205.10219 🤩

Amazing paper of my amazing friend ⁦Alice Somigliana⁩ ! Are you interested in populations of protoplanetary discs? You must have a look at it! 😍 arxiv.org/abs/2206.04136

Other super guests in Arcetri! This week we have Leonardo Testi leading a team of PhD students (UniMi & ESO). Brainstorming on protoplanetary disks!!

Variability of accretion in the young star XXCha observed in 2010 by Gregory Herczeg and last year with #PENELLOPELP presented in the poster by ESO student Rik Claes #coolstars21 come and check this out! European Research Council (ERC) #WANDA

Conference photo from a fantastic meeting last week in Leicester. A perfect size of meeting in my opinion. Lots of friends/colleagues new and old and lots of new ideas too sites.google.com/view/leicester…

New paper! In work led by Cristiano Longarini Cristiano Longarini we explore analytic aspects of gravitational instability in 2-component disks of gas and dust. Part of broader efforts to see if the Class O/I YSO environment is favorable for early planet formation. arxiv.org/abs/2212.04986

1/4 Fabulous week hosting the 4th phantom and MCFOST users workshop at Monash Science Monash Astrophysics in conjunction with MonashWarwick. A great week of collaboration and science!

New paper! In work led by Cristiano Longarini Cristiano Longarini during his Stony Brook / Flatiron CCA visit, we explore a novel possible mechanism for planetary core formation: particle collapse in self-gravitating disks where the gas is stable to fragmentation. arxiv.org/abs/2305.03659
