HD 36112

HD 36112, also known as MWC 758, is a young Herbig Ae star located in the constellation Taurus, surrounded by irregular rings of cosmic dust.

The disk has a cavity at 50 astronomical units and two spiral arms at 30-75 au that are seen in near-infrared scattered light, but only one spiral arm is seen in ALMA images.

This is not a projection effect but represents the shape of the cavity, with an eccentricity e ≈ 0.1 after the deprojection of the disk.

[4] A 2018 study detected a possible exoplanet at a distance of about 20 au, designated MWC 758 b,[6] and the observations with ALMA have also shown evidence of an unseen planet at 100 au.

[7] In another 2019 study, a possible exoplanet or disk feature was detected with the Large Binocular Telescope, referred to as MWC 758 CC1 (Companion Candidate 1), with a non-detection of MWC 758 b.
