abstract

We present an improved method to measure the rotation curves for disks with non-axisymmetric brightness profiles initially published in Teague et al. (2018a). Application of this method to the well studied AS$~$209 system shows substantial deviations from Keplerian rotation of up to $\pm 5\%$. These deviations are most likely due to perturbations in the gas pressure profile, including a perturbation located at $\approx 250~$au and spanning up to $\approx 50~$au which is only detected kinematically. Modelling the required temperature and density profiles required to recover the observed rotation curve we demonstrate that the rings observed in $\mu$m scattered light are coincident with the pressure maxima, and are radially offset from the rings observed in mm continuum emission. This suggests that if rings in the NIR are due to sub-$\mu$m grains trapped in pressure maxima that there is a vertical dependence on the radius of the pressure minima.

  1. Chemical Divergence and Water Depletion: Gas Properties of Evolved Upper Scorpius Disks Revealed by JWST/MIRI

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    JWST/MIRI survey of 2-6 Myr Upper Scorpius disks finds diverse chemotypes, 10-1000x lower water luminosities, and evidence that outer dust traps control inner-disk chemistry.

  2. Extending dynamical mass measurements: probing GI as a possible origin of mm-dust spirals

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dynamical rotation-curve fits give M_disk ≈ 0.30 M_sun for HD 97048 and ≈ 0.21 M_sun for WaOph 6, and indicate disks with mm-dust spirals have systematically lower Toomre Q.
