Lee, Ken Mawatari, Kazuaki Ota, Hideki Umehata, Erik Zackrisson, Bunyo Hatsukade, Kotaro Kohno, Yuichi Matsuda, Hiroshi Matsuo, Takashi Okamoto, Takatoshi Shibuya, Ikkoh Shimizu, Yoshiaki Taniguchi, Naoki Yoshida Abstract: detection of the [Cii] 157.7 um emission from the Lyman break galaxy (LBG) MACS0416 Y1 at z = 8:3113, by using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The luminosity ratio of [Oiii] 88 um (from previous campaigns) to [Cii] is 9.3 2.6, indicative of hard interstellar radiation fields and/or a low covering fraction of photo-dissociation regions. The emission of [Cii] is cospatial to the 850 um dust emission (90 um rest-frame, from previous campaigns), however the peak [Cii] emission does not agree with the peak [Oiii] emission, suggesting that the lines originate from different conditions in the interstellar medium. We fail to detect continuum emission at 1.5 mm (160 um rest-frame) down to 18 uJy (3). This non-detection places a strong limits on the dust-spectrum, considering the 137 pm 26 uJy continuum emission at 850 um. This suggests an unusually warm dust component (T > 80 K, 90% confidence limit), and/or a steep dust-emissivity index(Bdust > 2), compared to galaxy-wide dust emission found at lower redshifts (typically T < 30 < 50 K, Bdust 1 - 2). If such temperatures are common, this would reduce the required dust mass and relax the dust production problem at the highest redshifts. MNRAS EA

We map [OIII], Hα and rest-frame FIR emission to search for any spatial anti-correlation between ionised outflows (traced by the [O iii] line) and star formation (SF; traced by Ha and FIR), that has previously been claimed for some high-z AGN and used as evidence for negative and/or positive AGN feedback.

Alves Abstract: ...When using realistic grain size distributions for disks with grains up to the submillimeter sizes, the polarization direction of thermal emission by aligned grains is shown to be parallel to the direction of the magnetic field over a significant fraction of the wavelengths typically used to observe young protoplanetary disks. This property may explain the peculiar azimuthal orientation of the polarization vectors in some of the disks observed with ALMA and attest of the conserved ability of dust polarized emission to trace the magnetic field in disks.

Pietu, J. Bary, T. Beck, F. Hersant, D. T Hoai, J. M. Hure, P. T. Nhung, A. Pierens, P. Tuan-Anh Abstract: We used new ALMA 13CO and C18O(3-2) observations obtained at high angular resolution (∼0.2") together with previous CO(3-2) and (6-5) ALMA data and continuum maps at 1.3 and 0.8 mm in order to determine the gas properties (temperature, density, and kinematics) in the cavity. The outer disk is cold, with a temperature $<20$ K beyond 250 au that drops quickly (r$^{-1}$). The kinematics of the gas inside the cavity reveals infall motions at about 10% of the Keplerian speed. We derive the amount of gas in the cavity, and find that the brightest clumps, which contain about 10% of this mass, have kinetic temperatures 40$-$80 K, CO column densities of a few 10$^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$, and H$_2$ densities around 10$^7$ cm$^{-3}$. Although the gas in the cavity is only a small fraction of the disk mass, the mass accretion rate throughout the cavity is comparable to or higher than the stellar accretion rate. It is accordingly sufficient to sustain the circumstellar disks on a long timescale. Submitted 22 January, 2020; originally announced January 2020. Eu

30. arXiv:2001.11045 Mdust−M⋆ Relation Hints at the Origin of Particle Traps in Protoplanetary Disks Authors: Paola Pinilla, Ilaria Pascucci, Sebastian Marino Abstract: [abridged] Demographic surveys of protoplanetary disks, mainly with ALMA, have provided access to a large range of disk dust masses (Mdust) around stars with different stellar types and for different star-forming regions. These surveys found a linear relation in logarithmic scale between Mdust and M⋆ that steepens with time, Models of dust evolution can reproduced the observed Mdust M? relation in different star-forming regions when strong pressure bumps are included and when the disk mass scales with stellar mass (case of Mdisk = 0:05Msun in our models). This result arises from dust trapping and dust growth beyond centimeter-size grains inside pressure bumps. However, the flatter relation of Mdust Msun for TDs and disks with substructures cannot be reproduced by the models, unless the formation of boulders is inhibited inside pressure bumps. Conclusions. In the context of planets originating pressure bumps, our results agree with the current exoplanet statistics about giant planet occurrence increasing with stellar mass, but we cannot conclude about the type of planets needed in the case of low mass stars. This is because for M? < 1M , the observed Mdust obtained from models is very low due to the efficient growth of dust particles beyond centimeter sizes inside pressure bumps. A&A Eu

Watanabe Abstract: We present spatial variations of the CO J=2-1/1-0 line ratio in M83 using Total Power array data from ALMA. While the intensities of these two lines correlate tightly, the ratio varies over the disk, with a disk average ratio of 0.69, and shows the galactic center and a two-arm spiral pattern. It is high (>0.7) in regions of high molecular gas surface density Smol but ranges from low to high ratios in regions of low Smol. We speculate that the large spread of R21=10 in low mol regions, mostly at the downstream sides of spiral arms, may be due to the evolution of massive stars after spiral arm passage. Having in a late phase escaped from the spiral arms and their parental clouds, they may contribute to the dust heating by FUV and gas heating by cosmic rays produced by supernovae. ApJ Letters NA

Mardones Abstract: We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 observations at 14-20 au spatial resolution of the disk and CO(2-1) outflow around the Class I protostar DG Tau B in Taurus. The disk is very large, both in dust continuum (Reff,95%=174 au) and CO (RCO=700 au). It shows Keplerian rotation around a 1.1±0.2 M⊙ central star Our ALMA observations therefore demonstrate that the inner cone walls, and the associated scattered light cavity, do not trace the interface with infalling material, which is shown to be confined to much wider angles (> 70). The properties of the conical walls are suggestive of the interaction between an episodic inner jet or wind with an outer disk wind, or of a massive disk wind originating from 2-5 au. EU

C. arXiv:2001.03795 Splash Bridge Models of Inclined, Gas-Rich, Direct Galaxy Collisions Authors: Travis Yeager, Curt Struck Abstract: …The number distribution of high velocity shocks in cloud collisions, produced in our low inclination models, are in agreement with those observed in the Taffy Galaxies with ALMA, Appleton et al., 2019. ▽ More NA
D. arXiv:2001.06376 The paradox of youth for ALMA planet candidates Authors: Sergei Nayakshin Abstract: Recent ALMA observations indicate that the majority of bright protoplanetary discs show signatures of young moderately massive planets. I show that this result is paradoxical. The planets should evolve away from their observed states by radial migration and gas accretion in about 1\% of the system age. These systems should then hatch tens of giant planets in… ▽ More MNRAS Eu
E. arXiv:2001.11076 The ALMA Development Program: Roadmap to 2030 Authors: John Carpenter, Daisuke Iono, Francisca Kemper, Al Wootten Abstract: The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is the premier telescope for sensitive, high-resolution observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. The array consists of fifty 12-m diameter antennas that can be reconfigured to baselines as long as 16 km, twelve 7-m antennas that sample the short visibility spacings, and four 12-m antenn… ▽ More Monthly Newsletter of International URSI Commission J Radio Astronomy January 2020
F. arXiv:2001.10588 Formation of Planetary Populations II: Effects of Initial Disk Size & Radial Dust Drift Authors: Matthew Alessi, Ralph E. Pudritz, Alex J. Cridland Abstract: Recent ALMA observations indicate that while a range of disk sizes exist, typical disk radii are small, and that radial dust drift affects the distribution of solids in disks. Here we explore the consequences of these features in planet population synthesis models. A key feature of our model is planet traps - barriers to otherwise rapid type-I migration of f… ▽ More MNRAS; revised NA
G. arXiv:2001.10547 Outflows and extended [CII] halos in high redshift galaxies Authors: Elia Pizzati, Andrea Ferrara, Andrea Pallottini, Simona Gallerani, Livia Vallini, Davide Decataldo, Seiji Fujimoto Abstract: Recent stacked ALMA observations have revealed that normal, star-forming galaxies at z≈6 are surrounded by extended (≈10kpc) [CII] emitting halos which are not predicted by the most advanced, zoom-in simulations. We present a model in which these halos are the result of supernova-driven cooling outflows. Our model contains two fr… ▽ More MNRAS Eu

Hornstein, Julia Kamenetzky, Edward E. Prather Abstract: …detail. Many recent astrophysical discoveries that have revolutionized the scientific community's understanding of the cosmos were made by interferometers such as LIGO, ALMA, and the Event Horizon Telescope. Astro 101 instructors who want their students to learn the science behind these discoveries must teach about interferometry. Decades of research sho… ▽ Moresubmitted to The Physics Teacher NA
