EK Cha b: multi-tracer detection of a protoplanet candidate in a gas-rich environment

Felipe Alarcón, C. Swastik, Stefano Facchini +2

Despite sustained community efforts and advances in instrumentation and high-contrast imaging, the search for protoplanets remains difficult, with only two widely accepted systems…

JWST/MIRI Spectroscopy of the Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Binary XTE J1118+480: Constraints on Jet and Circumbinary Dust Contributions to the Mid-infrared Emission

Zihao Zuo, Elena Gallo, Nuria Calvet +9

We report on JWST/MIRI low-resolution spectroscopy (-m) and imaging (-m) of the black hole X-ray binary XTE~J1118+480 in quiescence, at an X-ray luminosity nine…

JWST/MIRI Imaging Search for Kinematically Detected Protoplanetary Candidates

G. Cugno, M. Benisty, R. Teague +32

Kinematic perturbations observed with ALMA in CO line emission provide evidence for a population of embedded giant protoplanets shaping the structure of protoplanetary disks. We pr…

Mapping the WISPIT2 Planet-Hosting Cavity at Sub-Hill-Radius scales

Myriam Benisty, Stefano Facchini, Richard Teague +6

We present new deep, very high angular resolution observations of the sub-mm continuum (19x13 mas) and 12CO (67x52 mas) emission from the disk surrounding the planet host WISPIT2.…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. IV. Detailed Imaging of the Protoplanetary Disk around TW Hya

Yu-Chia Lin, Jarron Leisenring, Schuyler G. Wolff +14

As the nearest protoplanetary disk to Earth ( pc), TW Hya is one of the most studied protoplanetary disks and a critical benchmark for testing planet formation theories.…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

JWST/MIRI Reveals the Evolution from Molecular to Atomic Disk Winds

Naman S. Bajaj, Ilaria Pascucci, Sylvie Cabrit +10

The evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks--governed by accretion, magnetically launched jets and winds, and photoevaporative winds--fundamentally shape planetary systems.…

Multi-epoch scattered-light analysis of HD 135344B: new evidence for a spiral-driving protoplanet

J. Latour, V. Christiaens, O. Absil +17

The HD 135344B (SAO 206462) disk exhibits strong signposts of planet formation. ALMA images in the sub-mm revealed a gap-crossing dust filament whose position coincides with a twis…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems. VII. Molecular Mapping Performance with JWST/MIRI MRS: VHS 1256 b as a case study

Mathilde Mâlin, Anthony Boccaletti, Benjamin Charnay +29

VHS 1256 b was the first planetary-mass companion to be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (JWST/MIRI) using the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer…

High-Contrast Imaging of Forming Protoplanets: VLTs, JWST, and the Promise of ELT

Gabriele Cugno, Michael R. Meyer

Planet formation remains a fundamentally important yet poorly understood process. Protoplanetary disks, the birthplaces of planetary systems, exhibit a wide range of substructures…

Giant Planet Formation by Disk Instability

Ravit Helled, Oliver Schib, Christian Reinhardt +4

The disk instability (DI) model for giant planet formation remains an attractive alternative in explaining the formation of giant planets at early times, giant planets at large rad…

A 2 au resolution view by ALMA of the planet-hosting WISPIT 2 disk

Stefano Facchini, Pietro Curone, Myriam Benisty +4

We present deep, high spatial resolution interferometric observations of 0.88 mm continuum emission from the TYC 5709-354-1 system, hereafter WISPIT 2, obtained with the goal of de…
