Observational Signatures of Dust Traffic Jams in Polar-Aligning Circumbinary Disks

Jeremy L. Smallwood et al 2024 ApJL 976 L23 Misaligned dusty disks around young binary stars can precess and eventually end up in a polar orbit; future radio arrays may be capable of detecting the centimeter-sized dust grains involved in the resulting “traffic jams.”
