| From M-Stars to Brown Dwarfs: Exploring the Chemical Diversity of Protoplanetary Disks |
|---|
Planets form from the material surrounding young stars, making it essential to understand the chemical composition and distribution of protoplanetary disks to better predict the makeup of future planets. Advances with facilities like ALMA and JWST have enabled us to explore the chemical properties of disks around very low-mass stars. However, detecting larger molecules (with more than four atoms) in these environments remains challenging. In this talk, I will present an overview of our current understanding of disk chemistry and highlight key observations from disks around low-mass M-type stars. I will also discuss the exciting prospects of what we might discover in the disks surrounding brown dwarfs, providing insights into the diversity of planet-forming environments. |
