![Zoomed-in 12CO J = 3 − 2 channel maps. Contours are 3, 6 and 10σ. The isovelocity contours are calculated with a flat surface. The planet locations are marked with white dots. The beam is given in the bottom right corner while the velocity of the channel is provided in the bottom left corner. Fig. F.5 shows the channel maps over the full extent of the disk.-- [astro-ph.EP]](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Mapping.png?resize=1200%2C717&ssl=1)
[astro-ph.EP] We present new deep, very high angular resolution observations of the sub-mm continuum (19×13 mas) and 12CO (67×52 mas) emission from the disk surrounding the planet host WISPIT2. Our […]
