Discovery of Hα Emission from a Protoplanet Candidate around the Young Star 2MASS J16120668–3010270 with MagAO-X

2MASS J16120668–3010270 (hereafter 2MJ1612) is a young M0 star that hosts a protoplanetary disk in the Upper Scorpius star-forming region. Recent Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 2MJ1612 show a mildly inclined disk ( i  = 37°) with a large dust-depleted gap ( R _ca...
