      Planet-disc interactions build up local pressure maxima that may halt the radial drift of protoplanetary dust, and pile it up in rings and crescents. ALMA observations of the HD 135344B disc revealed two rings in the thermal ...

      © 2018 The Author(s)The large crescents imaged by ALMA in transition discs suggest that azimuthal dust trapping concentrates the larger grains, but centimetre–wavelengths continuum observations are required to map the ...
    • Hales, A.; De Gregorio Monsalvo, Itziar; Montesinos, B.; Casassus Montero, Simón; Dent, William R.

(The American Astronomical Society., 2014-07-31)
      We carried out a 12CO(3-2) survey of 52 southern stars with a wide range of IR excesses (L IR/L *) using the single-dish telescopes APEX and ASTE. The main aims were (1) to characterize the evolution of molecular gas in ...

      A pathway to the formation of planetesimals, and eventually giant planets, may occur in concentrations of dust grains trapped in pressure maxima. Dramatic crescent-shaped dust concentrations have been seen in recent radio ...
    • Marino Estay, Sebastián; Casassus Montero, Simón; Pérez, Sebastián; Lyra, W.; Román, P.; Avenhaus, H.; Wright, C. M.; Maddison, S. T. (IOP Publishing, 2015)
      The formation of planetesimals requires that primordial dust grains grow from micron- to km-sized bodies. Dust traps caused by gas pressure maxima have been proposed as regions where grains can concentrate and grow fast ...
    • Casassus Montero, Simón; Pérez, Sebastián; Osses, Axel; Marino, Sebastián (Oxford University Press, 2019)
      © 2019 The Author(s).The mass of the gaseous reservoir in young circumstellar discs is a crucial initial condition for the formation of planetary systems, but estimates vary by orders of magnitude. In some discs with ...

      Context. Z CMa is a binary composed of an embedded Herbig Be and an FU Ori class star separated by ∼100 au. Observational evidence indicates a complex environment in which each star has a circumstellar disk and drives a ...
    • Pérez, Sebastián; Casassus Montero, Simón; Cortés, Juan R.; Kenney, Jeffrey D. P. (2009)
      We present near-infrared (NIR) Very Large Telescope (VLT) Infrared Spectrometer and Array Camera (ISAAC) imaging and spectroscopy of the peculiar Virgo galaxy NGC4438, whose nucleus has been classified as a low-ionization ...
