Description

We have long been interested in the chemical link between protoplanetary disks and planetary atmospheres. But this has largely been limited to the most abundant isotopes of elements like oxygen and carbon. More recent observational efforts have begun to identify the precence of less abundant isotopologues like $^{13}$CO in the atmospheres of giant planets and sub-stellar objects. Here I will outline some preliminary work linking isotopologue chemistry in disks through planet formation models to these detections, and outline some recent observational efforts going on at the USM.
