Transition disks: Four candidates for ongoing giant planet formation in Ophiuchus

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

Among the large set of Spitzer-selected transitional disks that we have examined in the Ophiuchus molecular, four disks have been identified as (giant) planet-forming candidates based on the morphology of their spectral energy distributions (SEDs), their apparent lack of stellar companions, and evid...
