Confirmed observations of young protoplanets actively undergoing the process of formation have remained rare to date. In this Letter, we present new insights into the nature of the recently identified protoplanet WISPIT 2 b (age $\sim$ 5 Myr) from VLTI/GRAVITY+ observations. Through the analysis of the spectral energy...

The formation mechanisms of brown dwarfs (BDs) and free-floating planets (FFPs) are poorly constrained. The two main competing scenarios include the star-like scenario, where these objects correspond to the least massive gravitationally unstable fragments of molecular clouds, and the planet-like scenario, where these o...

Giant planets are often regarded as primordial protoplanetary"architects". Their formation and interactions with planetesimals and other planets during and after the protoplanetary disc phase are key to setting the blueprint of the planetary systems we observe today. Catching nascent gas giants is our best opportunity...

Kinematic perturbations observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in CO line emission provide evidence for a population of embedded giant protoplanets shaping the structure of protoplanetary disks. We present JWST/MIRI F1140C (λ = 11.3 μm) coronagraphic observations of five protoplanetary disks—HD...
