JWST ice band profiles reveal mixed ice compositions in the HH 48 NE disk

Jennifer B. Bergner, J. A. Sturm, Elettra L. Piacentino +19

Planet formation is strongly influenced by the composition and distribution of volatiles within protoplanetary disks. With JWST, it is now possible to obtain direct observational c…

A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk

Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143

Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
