Title: Velocity Kinks: Reliable Signposts of Planets in Disks? Abstract: The velocity “kink” kinematic signature has gained standing as a promising method for discovering embedded planets. The gravitational influence of a planetary perturber is predicted to drive spiral wakes that disturb the surrounding gas velocity, generating distinct “kinks” along the spiral arms observable in velocity channel maps of gas emission. To date, a dozen velocity kink detections have been reported in observed disks, and most have pinpointed the candidate planets within gaps in the dust continuum. This number is sure to increase in the coming year with results from the exoALMA large program. The understanding that velocity kinks are due to spiral arms enables us to make a robust, testable prediction: Every instance of velocity kinks should be concurrent with spiral density waves. In this talk, I describe the results from our search for the spirals driven by the kink planets in the ALMA dust continuum. Our work provides an independent method to verify the existence of these planet candidates, and more importantly, tests the validity of velocity kinks as a reliable signpost of planets in disks.
