Résumé scientifique
Earth's surface and deep mantle are strongly depleted in carbon compared to the Sun. Sublimation of solid carbonaceous material in the inner midplanes of young disks could cause this depletion. We study such thermal processing in HOPS-68, a Class I protostar with a rich hydrocarbon spectrum. A companion paper has shown that it is recondensing refractory dust from a hot inner disk region, and that oxygen-bearing species are tracing a warm (300-500 K) molecular layer entrained in a disk-wind. In this work, we analyze the carbon species in the JWST spectrum of this source using local thermal equilibrium slab models. We detect warm (~400 K) HCN and C2H2 at the base of a disk wind, as well as colder (~40 K) C4H2, CH3, and CS in the outer disk or outflow cavity wall. Additionally, 13CCH2, CH4, and C6H2 are detected, while ALMA observations reveal C2H tracing the outflow cavity walls. We suggest that in a "refractory carbon destruction zone" in the inner disk, carbon-bearing species are released from the grains, possibly contributing to the observed carbon depletion of Earth. The disk wind then redistributes carbon carried by HCN and C2H2 from the inner disk to the colder outer disk, where UV-induced gas-phase reactions with C2H in the outflow cavity walls could produce the aliphatic carbon chains seen. This result implies that the Warm Carbon Chain Chemistry (WCCC, e.g. N. Sakai & S. Yamamoto 2013) might trace outflows rather than infall. The formation of aliphatic chains in the disk wind could promote the abundant aliphatic organics found in meteorites and asteroids.

Carbon Depletion in the Early Solar SystemFabian Binkert, Til Birnstiel · 2023 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 11 fois · Résumé IA disponible
Carbon Depletion in the Early Solar System modélise la libération et le transport du carbone réfractaire dans les disques, comme cette étude relie le traitement thermique à l’appauvrissement terrestre.
Résumé scientifique
Earth and other rocky objects in the inner Solar System are depleted in carbon compared to objects in the outer Solar System, the Sun, or the ISM. It is believed that this is a result of the selective removal of refractory carbon from primordial circumstellar material. In this work, we study the irreversible release of carbon into the gaseous environment via photolysis and pyrolysis of refractory carbonaceous material during the disk phase of the early Solar System. We analytically solve the one-dimensional advection equation and derive an explicit expression that describes the depletion of carbonaceous material in solids under the influence of radial and vertical transport. We find both dep…

A Deep Search for Five Molecules in the 49 Ceti Debris DiskJessica Klusmeyer, A. Meredith Hughes, Luca Matra et al. · 2021 · Solar and Stellar Astrophysics · cité 5 fois · Résumé IA disponible
A Deep Search for Five Molecules in the 49 Ceti Debris Disk recherche des molécules dans un disque de débris avec ALMA, mais étudie l’origine de son gaz plutôt que le traitement du carbone.
Résumé scientifique
Surprisingly strong CO emission has been observed from more than a dozen debris disks around nearby main-sequence stars. The origin of this CO is unclear, in particular whether it is left over from the protoplanetary disk phase or is second-generation material released from collisions between icy bodies like debris dust. The primary unexplored avenue for distinguishing the origin of the material is understanding its molecular composition. Here we present a deep search for five molecules (CN, HCN, HCO+, SiO, and CH3OH) in the debris disk around 49 Ceti. We take advantage of the high sensitivity of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at Band 7 to integrate for 3.2 hours at …

JWST-TST High Contrast: Medium-resolution spectroscopy reveals a carbon-rich circumplanetary disk around the young accreting exoplanet Delorme 1 AB bMathilde Mâlin, Kimberly Ward-Duong, Sierra L. Grant et al. · 2025 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 6 fois · Résumé IA disponible
JWST-TST High Contrast caractérise par spectroscopie MIRI la composition carbonée d’un disque circumplanétaire, tandis que cette étude analyse les hydrocarbures d’un disque protostellaire.
Résumé scientifique
Young accreting planetary-mass objects are thought to draw material from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) composed of gas and dust. While the gas within the disk is expected to disperse within the first million years, strong accretion has nonetheless been detected in older systems, including the 30--45 Myr-old planetary-mass companion Delorme 1 AB b. We conducted spectroscopic observations with JWST/MIRI to investigate the presence of circumplanetary material around this young, accreting planet, and to characterize the planet's atmospheric properties and composition. We perform forward modeling using atmospheric models to characterize the planet's atmosphere. Beyond 10 microns, the SED becomes d…

Carbon monoxide gas produced by a giant impact in the inner region of a young systemTajana Schneiderman, Luca Matrà, Alan P. Jackson et al. · 2021 · Nature 598, 425-428 (2021) · cité 12 fois · Pas encore résumé
Carbon monoxide gas produced by a giant impact in the inner region of a young system étudie le gaz carboné issu d’un impact dans un système jeune, non le traitement du carbone d’un disque protostellaire.
Résumé scientifique
Models of terrestrial planet formation predict that the final stages of planetary assembly, lasting tens of millions of years beyond the dispersal of young protoplanetary disks, are dominated by planetary collisions. It is through these giant impacts that planets like the young Earth grow to their final mass and achieve long-term stable orbital configurations. A key prediction is that these impacts produce debris. To date, the most compelling observational evidence for post-impact debris comes from the planetary system around the nearby 23 Myr-old A star HD 172555. This system shows large amounts of fine dust with an unusually steep size distribution and atypical dust composition, previously…

Planet formation in the PDS 70 system: Constraining the atmospheric chemistry of PDS 70b and cA. J. Cridland, S. Facchini, E. F. van Dishoeck et al. · 2023 · A&A 674, A211 (2023) · cité 5 fois · Pas encore résumé
Planet formation in the PDS 70 system modélise l’émission de C₂H dans un disque protoplanétaire, molécule que cette étude observe aux parois d’une cavité d’écoulement.
Résumé scientifique
Understanding the chemical link between protoplanetary disks and planetary atmospheres is complicated by the fact that the popular targets in the study of disks and planets are widely separated both in space and time. The 5 Myr PDS 70 systems offers a unique opportunity to directly compare the chemistry of a giant planet's atmosphere to the chemistry of its natal disk. To that end, we derive our current best physical and chemical model for the PDS 70 disk through forward modelling of the $^{12}$CO, C$^{18}$O, and C$_2$H emission radial profiles with the thermochemical code DALI and find a volatile C/O ratio above unity in the outer disk. Using what we know of the PDS 70 disk today, we analyt…

The hybrid disks: a search and study to better understand evolution of disksJ. Pericaud, E. Di Folco, A. Dutrey et al. · 2016 · A&A 600, A62 (2017) · cité 33 fois · Résumé IA disponible
The hybrid disks: a search and study to better understand evolution of disks recense des disques de transition entre phases protoplanétaire et débris, plutôt que la chimie carbonée d’un disque jeune.
Résumé scientifique
The increased sensitivity of millimeter-wave facilities now makes possible the detection of low amounts of gas in debris disks. Some of the gas-rich debris disks harbor peculiar properties, with possible pristine gas and secondary generated dust. The origin of the gas in these hybrid disks is strongly debated and the current sample is too sparse to understand this phenomenon. More detections are necessary to increase the statistics on this population. Lying at the final stages of evolution of proto-planetary disks and at the beginning of the debris disk phase, these objects could provide new insight into the processes involved in the making of planetary systems. We carried out a deep survey …
