Interpreting the ALMA continuum images of protoplanetary disks
Abstract: In recent years a large number of high-resolution ALMA images of protoplanetary disks were published. It is striking how cleanly structured these disks appear to be: they feature nearly perfect rings of dust, with every now and then an elliptic blob, and sometimes m=2 “grand design spirals” (among several other interesting features). What do these structures tell us about the physics of protoplanetary disks and planet formation? In this talk I will discuss several attempts, some successful, others not, at explaining these features and finding out what causes them. This involves models of varying complexity, from simple semi-analytic models to full-scale multidimensional gas dynamic models.

Another example of COVID creativity arises from Celtic Studies researchers, who launched the Irish Script on Screen project, so Scholars worldwide could access ancient manuscripts online. So far this year there has been 2,676,399 hits on the on the website. @DIAS_ISOS
Our second example of creativity was from our Theoretical physicists, who continued their collaborative work on complex theorems by installing some blackboards on the railings outside DIAS to work safely in the open air. More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #DIASdiscovers #blackboard
This week we are looking back over the COVID year of 2020 and celebrating the adaptability of our researchers. First up was the successful COVID compliant @SEA_SEIS expedition in May 2020. Read More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #covid19 #research #DIASdiscovers #INSN #seismology
DIAS Professor @TomRayDIAS, worked on the JWST to produce the special infrared filters required by the Mid Infra-Red Instrument (MIRI), that break up the light into its various components. JWST is now due to launch in 2021! bbc.com/news/science-e… #DIASdiscovers #JWST #MIRI
