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…

JWST/MIRI Hydrocarbon and Water Absorption in the Wind of a Young Disk: Signatures of Pebble Drift and Carbon Grain Sublimation

María José Colmenares, Edwin A. Bergin, Ke Zhang +27

We present JWST/MIRI-MRS observations of ISO-Oph 37, a highly inclined flat-spectrum (1 Myr old) source, to investigate the chemical composition and dynamical origin of i…

Water in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI: spectral excitation atlas and radial distribution from temperature diagnostic diagrams and Doppler mapping

Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk, Klaus M. Pontoppidan +19

This work aims at providing fundamental general tools for the analysis of water spectra as observed in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI. We analyze 25 high-quality spectra from…

MAPS: Constraining Serendipitous Time Variability in Protoplanetary Disk Molecular Ion Emission

Abygail R. Waggoner, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Ryan A. Loomis +12

Theoretical models and observations suggest that the abundances of molecular ions in protoplanetary disks should be highly sensitive to the variable ionization conditions set by th…

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) II: CLEAN Strategies for Synthesizing Images of Molecular Line Emission in Protoplanetary Disks

Ian Czekala, Ryan A. Loomis, Richard Teague +27

The Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales large program (MAPS LP) surveyed the chemical structures of five protoplanetary disks across more than 40 different spectral lines…

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS) I: Program Overview and Highlights

Karin I. Oberg, Viviana V. Guzman, Catherine Walsh +35

Planets form and obtain their compositions in dust and gas-rich disks around young stars, and the outcome of this process is intimately linked to the disk chemical properties. The…
