The focus of the Master thesis is on the dynamical analysis of a peculiar protoplanetary disk in the Corona Australis star forming complex.

The multiwavelength approach will allow to gather information on different areas and dust-sizes of the protoplanetary disk. As said before, this disk shows particular structures: this suggests that there could be a Jupiter-like planet embedded in the disk. The goal is to reveal the presence of the planet through ADI (Angular Differential Imaging) on SPHERE data and compare them with the ALMA data.

Abstract

The focus of the Master thesis is on the dynamical analysis of a peculiar protoplanetary disk in the Corona Australis star forming complex. The disk, observed in scattered light with SPHERE at the Very Large Telescope, shows interesting features, such as a compact disk, and spiral arms. The same disk, observed at longer wavelengths with ALMA, appears more extended and smoother, with no evidence of substructures. The aim of the thesis is to pursue a comprehensive analysis of this disk, with the final goal of providing hints on the presence of a forming planet in the observed disk. The key aspect of this study is the use of a multiwavelength approach, combining data from SPHERE (in the IR-wavelengths range) data from ALMA (in the mm-wavelengths regime), photometric data through the Spectral Energy Distribution analysis (from the UV to the mm-wavelengths regime), and eventually spectroscopic data available in the archive. The multiwavelength approach will allow to gather information on different areas and dust-sizes of the protoplanetary disk. As said before, this disk shows particular structures: this suggests that there could be a Jupiter-like planet embedded in the disk. The goal is to reveal the presence of the planet through ADI (Angular Differential Imaging) on SPHERE data and compare them with the ALMA data.
