MINDS. Cha Hα 1, a brown dwarf with a hydrocarbon-rich disk

María Morales-Calderón, Hyerin Jang, Aditya M. Arabhavi +23

Context. Recent JWST observations have shown that brown dwarfs (BD) are chemically rich, offering valuable insights into giant planet formation. Aims. As part of the MIRI mid-INfra…

The Chemical Inventory of the Inner Regions of Planet-forming Disks -- The JWST/MINDS Program

Inga Kamp, Thomas Henning, Aditya M. Arabhavi +40

The understanding of planet formation has changed recently, embracing the new idea of pebble accretion. This means that the influx of pebbles from the outer regions of planet-formi…

MINDS. JWST-MIRI Observations of a Spatially Resolved Atomic Jet and Polychromatic Molecular Wind Toward SY Cha

Kamber R. Schwarz, Matthias Samland, Göran Olofsson +21

The removal of angular momentum from protostellar systems drives accretion onto the central star and may drive the dispersal of the protoplanetary disk. Winds and jets can contribu…

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…

Investigating the detectability of hydrocarbons in exoplanet atmospheres with JWST

Danny Gasman, Michiel Min, Katy L. Chubb

We investigate at what abundances various hydrocarbon molecules (e.g. acetylene (CH), ethylene (CH), and methane (CH)) become detectable when observing the atmo…

The Brighter-Fatter Effect in the JWST MIRI Si:As IBC detectors I. Observations, impact on science, and modelling

Ioannis Argyriou, Craig Lage, George H. Rieke +10

The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) uses three Si:As impurity band conduction (IBC) detector arrays. The output voltage level of each…
