John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American filmmaker, composer, and actor. Most commonly associated with horror, action, and science fiction films of the 1970s and 1980s, he is generally recognized as a master of the horror genre. At the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the French Directors' Guild gave him the Golden Coach Award and lauded him as "a creative genius of raw, fantastic, and spectacular emotions". On April 3, 2025, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Carpenter's early films included critical and commercial successes such as ''Halloween'' (1978), ''The Fog'' (1980), ''Escape from New York'' (1981), and ''Starman'' (1984). Though he has been acknowledged as an influential filmmaker, his other productions from the 1970s and the 1980s only later came to be considered cult classics; these include ''Dark Star'' (1974), ''Assault on Precinct 13'' (1976), ''The Thing'' (1982), ''Christine'' (1983), ''Big Trouble in Little China'' (1986), ''Prince of Darkness'' (1987), ''They Live'' (1988), ''In the Mouth of Madness'' (1994), and ''Escape from L.A.'' (1996). He returned to the ''Halloween'' franchise as a composer and executive producer on ''Halloween'' (2018), ''Halloween Kills'' (2021), and ''Halloween Ends'' (2022).
Carpenter usually composes or co-composes the music in his films. He won a Saturn Award for Best Music for the soundtrack of ''Vampires'' (1998) and has released five studio albums: ''Lost Themes'' (2015), ''Lost Themes II'' (2016), ''Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998'' (2017), ''Lost Themes III: Alive After Death'' (2021), and ''Lost Themes IV: Noir'' (2024). He also produces horror, science fiction, and children's comics through Storm King Comics, the publisher founded by his wife, Sandy King, in 2013. Provided by Wikipedia

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO). XI. Beam-corrected Gas Disk Sizes from Fitting 12CO Moment Zero Maps
Published 2025-01-01Get full textThe inward drift of millimeter–centimeter sized pebbles in protoplanetary disks has become an important part of our current theories of planet formation and, more recently, planet composition as well. The gas-to-dust size ratio of protoplanetary disks can provide an important constraint on how pebbl...

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO). XII. Extreme Millimeter Variability Detected in a Class II Disk
Published 2025-01-01Get full textVariability of millimeter wavelength continuum emission from Class II protoplanetary disks is extremely rare, and when detected, it is usually interpreted as originating from nonthermal emission mechanisms that relate to the host star itself rather than its disk. During observations made as part of...

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO). VIII. The Impact of External Photoevaporation on Disk Masses and Radii in Upper Scorpius
Published 2025-01-01Get full textProtoplanetary disk evolution can be deeply influenced by the UV radiation emitted by neighboring massive stars (mainly of spectral types O and B). We show that the process of external photoevaporation , which causes an outside-in depletion of disk material due to environmental UV radiation, can lea...

Published 2025-01-01Get full textThe evolution of the gas mass of planet-forming disks around young stars is crucial for our understanding of planet formation, yet it has proven hard to constrain observationally, due both to the difficulties of measuring gas masses and the lack of a homogeneous sample. Here we present a large grid...
