Mapping of interstellar ices with JWST in protostellar envelopes: Spatial variations of CO, CO, CO, OCN and HO ice

N. G. C. Brunken, E. F. van Dishoeck, A. C. A. Boogert +16

The composition of planets and their atmospheres is largely determined by the formation environment of the planet. This environment is pre-determined during early stages when the p…

JOYS+ analyses of OCN, NO, NO, and complex cyanides in ices -- Thermal processing results in modest enhancement of OCN ice

P. Nazari, N. Brunken, Y. Chen +12

Nitrogen-bearing molecules are more difficult to observe than oxygen-bearing ones, mainly due to the lower abundance of nitrogen in the interstellar medium. Therefore, the formatio…

JWST observations of segregated CO and CO ices in protostellar envelopes

N. G. C. Brunken, A. C. A. Boogert, E. F. van Dishoeck +13

The evolution of interstellar ices can be studied with thermal tracers such as the vibrational modes of CO ice that show great diversity depending on their local chemical and t…

Ice inventory towards the protostar Ced 110 IRS4 observed with the James Webb Space Telescope. Results from the ERS Ice Age program

W. R. M. Rocha, M. K. McClure, J. A. Sturm +37

This work focuses on the ice features toward the binary protostellar system Ced 110 IRS 4A and 4B, and observed with JWST as part of the Early Release Science Ice Age collaboration…

Ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) as a potentially significant sulfur sink in interstellar ices

Katerina Slavicinska, Adwin Boogert, Łukasz Tychoniec +6

Sulfur is depleted with respect to its cosmic standard abundance in dense star-forming regions. It has been suggested that this depletion is caused by the freeze-out of sulfur on i…

JOYS+ study of solid state C/C isotope ratios in protostellar envelopes: Observations of CO and CO ice with JWST

N. G. C. Brunken, E. F. van Dishoeck, K. Slavicinska +12

The carbon isotope ratio is a powerful tool for studying the evolution of stellar systems. Recent detections of CO isotopologues in disks and exoplanet atmospheres pointed towards…
