Around the water snowline: I. Effects of dynamical and chemical interplay on mid-infrared water spectra of protoplanetary discs

Till Kaeufer, Sebastiaan Krijt, Edwin A. Bergin +2

Protoplanetary discs' infrared water spectra (e.g. as observed by JWST) encode information about the underlying water distribution and physical conditions. In this work, we examine…

The JDISC Survey: Inner Disk Chemistry of Class I/FS Disks and Tentative Evidence for Early Pebble Drift

Ke Zhang, Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk +22

We present the first chemical survey of Class I and Flat-Spectrum (I/FS) disks using JWST MIRI/MRS, targeting sixteen sources in the Ophiuchus star-forming region. Through empirica…

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…

Molecular Similarity and Water Diversity in Coeval Binary Disks: JWST/MIRI Observations of Sz 65 and Sz 66

Jinghuai Yao, Ke Zhang, Andrea Banzatti +10

We present JWST/MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer spectra of the wide-separation (projected separation au) binary protoplanetary disks Sz 65 (K7; ) and Sz…

Evidence for Systematically Larger Dust Grains in Upper Scorpius Relative to Taurus Disks

Yao Liu, Ilaria Pascucci, Fei Gao +10

Infrared spectroscopy provides a powerful diagnostic for probing the mineralogical properties of dust grains in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks. The…

JWST-DECO: The Impact of Accretion on Mid-Infrared Observable Water in Planet-forming Disks

Jenny K. Calahan, Tarisai Dziire, Karin Öberg +13

The inner few au of a protoplanetary disk hosts the majority of observed exoplanets and is the primary planet-forming zone of the disk. The mid-IR spectra of disks, with its rich f…

Characterizing the Extended Molecular Hydrogen Winds in Protoplanetary Disks from the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey

Mayank Narang, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Colette Salyk +14

We present a comprehensive analysis of extended H emission from 34 protoplanetary disks observed with the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey (JDISCS), supplement…

How leaky? A large parameter study of leaky dust traps to quantify the transport of pebbles and ice in protoplanetary discs

Adrien Houge, Anders Johansen, Andrea Banzatti +1

In protoplanetary discs, the presence of dust traps can significantly alter the transport of solids from the outer to the inner regions, and hence they are often invoked as an expl…

HO in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks

Colette Salyk, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Ke Zhang +12

Isotopologues play an important role in solar system cosmochemistry studies, revealing details of early planet formation physics and chemistry. Oxygen isotopes, as measured in sola…

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…
