Adolfo Carvalho

Adolfo Carvalho is an observational astronomer affiliated with the University of Chile. His research focuses on star and planet formation, particularly on outbursting young stellar objects (FU Ori outbursters) and protoplanetary disk imaging.

• He investigates extreme accretion disk conditions during outbursts, which influence planetary formation dynamics.
• Collaborates with Prof. Laura Perez to study dust substructures in protoplanetary disks using ALMA.

His work combines spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling and millimeter imaging to understand disk physics and planetesimal formation. Carvalho has presented research at the 2023 Gordon Research Conference: Origins of Solar Systems. Recent publications (2023–2024) address disk evolution and planet-disk interactions.
