AbstractWe describe the serendipitous discovery of two new lithium-rich M5 members of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB Association (Sco-Cen). Both stars exhibit large 12 and 22 μm excesses and strong, variable Hα emission which we attribute to accretion from circumstellar discs. Such stars are thought to be incredibly rare at the ~16 Myr median age of much of Sco-Cen. The serendipitous discovery of two accreting stars hosting large quantities of circumstellar material may be indicative of a sizeable age spread in Sco-Cen, or further evidence that disc dispersal and planet formation time-scales are longer around lower-mass stars.

Among the currently interesting problems of interpreting the Magellanic Stream as an instance of tidal disruption is that of finding some demonstrable phenomenon in the makeup of the involved material that parallels the better known cases of tidal interaction, as for example NGC4038/39, where the dynamic and star-formation time scales are in agreement (Schweizer 1977). The observational problems that beset the interpretation of the Magellanic Stream are numerous (Mathewson and Schwartz 1976, Kunkel 1979, Bregman 1979), and the marked difference between the composition of the Stream (evidenced purely through HI) and the stellar systems (at least 80 percent stars) is among the outstanding dilemmas remaining. Finding some counterpart in the Magellanic scene comparable to the better recognized instances of tidal interaction may go some way towards clarifying a perplexing situation.

Abstract Pebble accretion has become a popular component to core accretion models of planet formation, and is especially relevant to the formation of compact, resonant terrestrial planetary systems. Pebbles initially form in the inner protoplanetary disc, sweeping outwards in a radially expanding front, potentially forming planetesimals and planetary cores via migration and the streaming instability. This pebble front appears at early times, in what is typically assumed to be a low-mass disc. We argue this picture is in conflict with the reality of young circumstellar discs, which are massive and self-gravitating. We apply standard pebble accretion and streaming instability formulae to self-gravitating protostellar disc models. Fragments will open a gap in the pebble disc, but they will likely fail to open a gap in the gas, and continue rapid inward migration. If this does not strongly perturb the pebble disc, our results show that disc fragments will accrete pebbles efficiently. We find that in general the pebble-to-gas-density ratio fails to exceed 0.01, suggesting that the streaming instability will struggle to operate. It may be possible to activate the instability if 10 cm grains are available, and spiral structures can effectively concentrate them in regions of low gravito-turbulence. If this occurs, lunar mass cores might be assembled on time-scales of a few thousand years, but this is likely to be rare, and is far from proven. In any case, this work highlights the need for study of how self-gravitating protostellar discs define the distribution and properties of solid bodies, for future planet formation by core accretion.

AbstractWe map the spectrum of $$1\rightarrow 2$$1→2 parton splittings inside a medium characterized by a transport coefficient $${\hat{q}}$$q^ onto the kinematical Lund plane, taking into account the finite formation time of the process. We discuss the distinct regimes arising in this map for in-medium splittings, pointing out the close correspondence to a semi-classical description in the limit of hard, collinear radiation with short formation times. Although we disregard any modifications of the original parton kinematics in course of the propagation through the medium, subtle modifications to the radiation pattern compared to the vacuum baseline can be traced back to the physics of color decoherence and accumulated interactions in the medium. We provide theoretical support to vacuum-like emissions inside the medium by delimiting the regions of phase space where it is dominant, identifying also the relevant time-scales involved. The observed modifications are shown to be quite general for any dipole created in the medium.
