Formation of the Methyl Cation by Photochemistry in a Protoplanetary Disk
Olivier Berné, Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel, Ilane Schroetter +53
Forty years ago it was proposed that gas phase organic chemistry in the interstellar medium was initiated by the methyl cation CH3+, but hitherto it has not been observed outside t…
MINDS. The DR Tau disk II: probing the hot and cold HO reservoirs in the JWST-MIRI spectrum
Milou Temmink, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Danny Gasman +14
The MRS mode of the JWST-MIRI instrument gives insights into the chemical richness and complexity of the inner regions of planet-forming disks. Here, we analyse the HO-rich spe…
PDRs4All VIII: Mid-IR emission line inventory of the Orion Bar
Dries Van De Putte, Raphael Meshaka, Boris Trahin +135
Mid-infrared emission features probe the properties of ionized gas, and hot or warm molecular gas. The Orion Bar is a frequently studied photodissociation region (PDR) containing l…
Protoplanetary disk cavities with JWST-MIRI: a dichotomy in molecular emission
Patrick Mallaney, Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk +24
The evolution of planet-forming regions in protoplanetary disks is of fundamental importance to understanding planet formation. Disks with a central deficit in dust emission, a "ca…
How large is a disk -- what do protoplanetary disk gas sizes really mean?
Leon Trapman, Giovanni Rosotti, Ke Zhang +1
It remains unclear what mechanism is driving the evolution of protoplanetary disks. Direct detection of the main candidates, either turbulence driven by magnetorotational instabili…
MINDS. The DR Tau disk I: combining JWST-MIRI data with high-resolution CO spectra to characterise the hot gas
Milou Temmink, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Sierra L. Grant +29
The MRS mode of the JWST-MIRI instrument has been shown to be a powerful tool to characterise the molecular gas emission of the inner region of planet-forming disks. Here, we analy…
JWST study of the DG Tau B disk wind candidate: I -- Overview and Nested H/CO outflows
Valentin Delabrosse, Catherine Dougados, Sylvie Cabrit +5
The origin and impact of outflows on proto-planetary disks and planet formation are key open questions. DG Tau B, a Class I protostar with a structured disk and a striking rotating…
A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk
Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
JWST-TST High Contrast: Medium-resolution spectroscopy reveals a carbon-rich circumplanetary disk around the young accreting exoplanet Delorme 1 AB b
Mathilde Mâlin, Kimberly Ward-Duong, Sierra L. Grant +21
Young accreting planetary-mass objects are thought to draw material from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) composed of gas and dust. While the gas within the disk is expected to dispers…
From Young to Older Disks: JWST/MIRI Evidence for Fading Molecular Emission and Hints for Elevated C/O in Upper Scorpius
Chengyan Xie, Ilaria Pascucci, Feng Long +23
We present JWST/MIRI spectroscopy of 14 disks in the older (~5-10 Myr) Upper Scorpius (USco) association and use slab of gas in local thermal equilibrium to infer basic gas propert…
Chemical Divergence and Water Depletion: Gas Properties of Evolved Upper Scorpius Disks Revealed by JWST/MIRI
Eshan Raul, Ke Zhang, Abygail Waggoner +25
Tracing the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks over time requires observations of disks at different ages. However, most JWST/MIRI surveys published to date have targeted y…
MINDS: The JWST MIRI Mid-INfrared Disk Survey
Thomas Henning, Inga Kamp, Matthias Samland +39
The study of protoplanetary disks has become increasingly important with the Kepler satellite finding that exoplanets are ubiquitous around stars in our galaxy and the discovery of…
Effect of MHD wind-driven disk evolution on the observed sizes of protoplanetary disks
Leon Trapman, Benoit Tabone, Giovanni Rosotti +1
It is still unclear whether the evolution of protoplanetary disks, a key ingredient in the theory of planet formation, is driven by viscous turbulence or magnetic disk winds. As vi…
Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) XVI: Characterizing the impact of the molecular wind on the evolution of the HD 163296 system
Alice S. Booth, Benoit Tabone, John D. Ilee +26
During the main phase of evolution of a protoplanetary disk, accretion regulates the inner-disk properties, such as the temperature and mass distribution, and in turn, the physical…
PDRs4All II: JWST's NIR and MIR imaging view of the Orion Nebula
Emilie Habart, Els Peeters, Olivier Berné +139
The JWST has captured the most detailed and sharpest infrared images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star formation region, and a prototypic…
First Detection of Interaction between a Magnetic Disk Wind and an Episodic Jet in a Protostellar System
Chin-Fei Lee, Benoit Tabone, Sylvie Cabrit +6
Rotating outflows from protostellar disks might trace extended magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) disk winds (DWs), providing a solution to the angular momentum problem in disk accretion f…
MINDS. JWST-MIRI Reveals a Dynamic Gas-Rich Inner Disk Inside the Cavity of SY Cha
Kamber R. Schwarz, Thomas Henning, Valentin Christiaens +24
SY Cha is a T Tauri star surrounded by a protoplanetary disk with a large cavity seen in the millimeter continuum but has the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a full disk. Her…
PDRs4All III: JWST's NIR spectroscopic view of the Orion Bar
Els Peeters, Emilie Habart, Olivier Berne +135
(Abridged) We investigate the impact of radiative feedback from massive stars on their natal cloud and focus on the transition from the HII region to the atomic PDR (crossing the i…
The HH 212 interstellar laboratory: astrochemistry as a tool to reveal protostellar disks on Solar System scales around a rising Sun
Claudio Codella, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Chin-Fei Lee +8
