Accretion onto the Embedded Protostar L1527 IRS: Insights from JWST NIRSpec and MIRI Observations

W. Blake Drechsler, John J. Tobin, Patrick D. Sheehan +12

Accretion is the primary driver of protostellar evolution, regulating mass assembly and shaping the physical and chemical environments of young stellar objects. Quantifying accreti…

Protostars at Subsolar Metallicity: First Detection of Large Solid-state Complex Organic Molecules in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Marta Sewiło, Will R. M. Rocha, Martijn van Gelder +11

We present the results of James Webb Space Telescope observations of the protostar ST6 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Medium Resolution Spectrograph of the Mid-Infrar…

HDO ice detected toward an isolated low-mass protostar with JWST

Katerina Slavicinska, Łukasz Tychoniec, María Gabriela Navarro +15

Water is detected in environments representing every stage of star and solar system formation, but its chemical evolution throughout these stages remains poorly constrained. Deuter…

JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS). Overview of gaseous molecular emission and absorption in low-mass protostars

M. L. van Gelder, L. Francis, E. F. van Dishoeck +17

The MIRI-MRS instrument onboard JWST allows for probing the molecular gas composition at mid-IR wavelengths at unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. It is important to study th…

Imaging the water snowline around protostars with water and HCO isotopologues

Merel L. R. van 't Hoff, Daniel Harsono, Martijn L. van Gelder +7

The water snowline location in protostellar envelopes provides crucial information about the thermal structure and the mass accretion process as it can inform about the occurrence…

Complex organic molecules in low-mass protostars on Solar System scales -- II. Nitrogen-bearing species

P. Nazari, M. L. van Gelder, E. F. van Dishoeck +10

The chemical inventory of planets is determined by the physical and chemical processes that govern the early phases of star formation. The aim is to investigate N-bearing complex o…

Complex organic molecules in low-mass protostars on solar system scales -- I. Oxygen-bearing species

M. L. van Gelder, B. Tabone, Ł. Tychoniec +8

Complex organic molecules (COMs) are thought to form on icy dust grains in the earliest phase of star formation. The evolution of these COMs from the youngest Class 0/I protostella…
