Using data from ALMA and advanced simulations, a research team led by Santiago Orcajo from the Instituto de Astrofísica de La Plata in Argentina (CONICET and Universidad Nacional de La Plata) has presented a new model that traces the evolution of protoplanetary disks through five distinct stages. The results strongly support a planet-driven origin of these substructures and offer new insights into how planets interact with the disks in which they form.
Stage I: Very young disks with shallow or no obvious substructures, corresponding to an epoch in which protoplanets are not massive enough to carve noticeable gaps in the disks.
Stage II: Disks with relatively narrow, but clear gaps and rings, indicating the growth of protoplanets
Stage III: A rapid widening of the gaps due to the sudden growth in the mass of some planets when they acquire their gaseous envelopes. This stage includes the rapid accumulation of dust at the outer edges of the gaps (the inner rims of the outer disks) due to the strong “pressure bumps” caused by the giant planets that recently formed, which stops the inward drift of dust.
Stage IV: Dust filtration at the edges of the cavities, resulting in dust-depleted inner disks. The millimeter dust from the outer disks efficiently drifts in and accumulates at the edges of the gaps.
Stage V: Eventually, the dusty inner disks drain completely onto the stars, and the outer disks become narrow rings (or collections of narrow rings).

An international collaboration called exoALMA is using our telescopes to s peer through the dusty disks where planets are born. Thanks to their newly developed advanced imaging techniques, exoALMA has revealed the most sharp images of young solar systems, as never seen before. This research project has just published 17 papers, with several more coming on the several months.
The exoALMA collaboration is using ALMA to conduct a comprehensive planet hunting campaign in the sub-mm regime. They claim to be the first to focus on still-forming planets, instead of fully formed ones.
Unlike traditional planet-hunting methods that look for a young planet's direct light, exoALMA looks for the effects planets have on their surroundings. This approach potentially allows to detect much younger planets than ever before. "It's like trying to spot a fish by looking for ripples in a pond, rather than [the] fish itself.”

EHT Reveals New Insights of Jets from Supermassive Black Holes. ALMA is a big part of EHT, and in this case provided the most accurate calibration for the observations, which was used later for the longer baselines between EHT telescopes.
ps. IAA-CSIC plays a strong role in EHT and this news, and is where I got my Ph.D., so this is doubly important for me.

BTW, did I mention ALMA is now officially 12 years old? On March 13th, 2013, ALMA was famously commanded by then President Sebastián Piñera to point to the galactic center!
Since then, ALMA has been delivering stunning science year after year, and during Cycle 10 we managed to provide more than 4250 hours of quality data to our Principal Investigators, our highest number ever!

ALMA Discovers “Space Tornadoes” Around the Milky Way’s Core!
Although the galaxy’s central molecular zone (CMZ) has long been known to be filled with swirling dust and gas molecules cycling through formation and destruction, the mechanism that drives this process has remained elusive. Molecules serve as tracers for various processes in molecular clouds, with silicon monoxide (SiO) particularly useful in detecting the presence of shock waves.
Using ALMA’s high resolution and sensitivity to map distinct spectral lines within the molecular clouds at the center of the Milky Way, the team led by Kai Yang (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) has delineated a new type of long, narrow filamentary structure at a significantly finer scale. The dynamic interaction between this turbulent environment and the slim filaments produced as shocks ripple through provides a more complete view of the cyclical processes within the CMZ.
Yang’s team reports it remains unknown how these slim filaments initially arise, but shock processes emerge as a likely explanation.

We're hiring again! Now we're looking for an Science Archive Content Manager (aka SACM). This person will be a mamber of the Data Management Group, and will be integral on creating useful science data from the raw data generated by the observatory. And in the WSU era, they will be providing expertise on how to best reduce the data.
For that, we're looking for someone with a Master's degree in astronomy with minimum three years of relevant working experience. A PhD degree will be considered an asset.
The successful candidate must have experience in data processing of astronomical data, with a good command of Unix/Linux. If they have experience in sub-mm/radio interferometric and/or single-dish data reduction, and Python programming skills, that will be an asset
Of course, she or he must be fluent in English, with fluency in Spanish being an asset.
Does that look like you, or someone you know? Please help us and apply, or forward this vacancy!
