JWST/MIRI Detection of Molecular H Winds from an Edge-on Class II Source HV Tau C

Vinod Chandra Pathak, P. Manoj, Himanshu Tyagi +14

The evolution of protoplanetary disks is regulated by accretion onto the central star and mass loss through jets and winds. While atomic and ionized outflows are commonly observed,…

The CepA disk-outflow system at <=0.2'' or <=100au resolution

H. Beuther, C. Gieser, V. Aberham +21

Context: Although there has been significant progress, the physical properties and potential fragmentation of accretion disks around high-mass protostars remain poorly constrained.…

MINDS survey of silicates in T Tauri disks: Correlation between dust and gas

J. Varga, Th. Henning, L. B. F. M. Waters +20

Context. Silicates are key constituents of planet-forming disks and major building blocks of rocky planets. Mid-infrared spectral features of micron-sized silicate grains trace gra…

Protostellar Outflows at the EarliesT Stages (POETS). IX. Magnetohydrodynamic disk winds traced by SO and SO in luminous protostars

L. Moscadelli, H. Beuther, A. Sanna +13

We investigate two massive young stellar objects (YSOs), IRAS21078+5211 and G035.02+0.35, where evidence for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disk winds (DWs) has been obtained at scales…

JOYS: A JWST/MIRI survey of the evolution of H winds and jets from low-mass protostars

L. Francis, Ł. Tychoniec, E. F. van Dishoeck +20

Protostellar outflows display wide-angle winds and collimated jets, the magnetocentrifugal launching of which enables accretion onto the protostar. The majority of the outflow mass…

Improving Accretion Diagnostics for Young Stellar Objects with Mid-infrared Hydrogen lines from JWST/MIRI

B Shridharan, P Manoj, Vinod Chandra Pathak +10

We present a comprehensive study of mid-infrared neutral hydrogen (H~\textsc{i}) emission lines in 79 nearby (d 200 ) young stars using JWST/MIRI. We aim to identify mid-in…

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…

JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS). HH 211: the textbook case of a protostellar jet and outflow

A. Caratti o Garatti, T. P. Ray, P. J. Kavanagh +22

We use the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) (5-28 um), to study the embedded HH 211 flow. We map a 0.95'x0.22' region, covering the full ext…

JWST MIRI Imager Observations of Supernova SN 1987A

P. Bouchet, R. Gastaud, A. Coulais +31

There exist very few mid-infrared (IR) observations of supernovae (SNe) in general. Therefore, SN 1987A, the closest visible SN in 400 years, gives us the opportunity to explore th…

JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS+): Detection of icy complex organic molecules and ions. I. CH, SO, HCOO, OCN, HCO, HCOOH, CHCHOH, CHCHO, CHOCHO, CHCOOH

W. R. M. Rocha, E. F. van Dishoeck, M. E. Ressler +23

Complex organic molecules (COMs) detected in the gas phase are thought to be mostly formed on icy grains, but no unambiguous detection of icy COMs larger than CH3OH has been report…

JOYS: Disentangling the warm and cold material in the high-mass IRAS 23385+6053 cluster

C. Gieser, H. Beuther, E. F. van Dishoeck +20

(abridged) We study and compare the warm (>100 K) and cold (<100 K) material toward the high-mass star-forming region IRAS 23385+6053 (IRAS 23385 hereafter) combining high angular…

Grain size limits derived from 3.6 μm and 4.5 μm coreshine

J. Steinacker, M. Andersen, W. -F. Thi +8

Recently discovered scattered light from molecular cloud cores in the wavelength range 3-5 μm (called "coreshine") seems to indicate the presence of grains with sizes above 0.5 μm.…

THOR - The HI, OH, Recombination Line Survey of the Milky Way - The pilot study: HI observations of the giant molecular cloud W43

S. Bihr, H. Beuther, J. Ott +30

To study the atomic, molecular and ionized emission of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), we have initiated a Large Program with the VLA: 'THOR - The HI, OH, Recombination Line survey…

The earliest phases of star formation - A Herschel key project. The thermal structure of low-mass molecular cloud cores

R. Launhardt, A. M. Stutz, A. Schmiedeke +19

The temperature and density structure of molecular cloud cores are the most important physical quantities that determine the course of the protostellar collapse and the properties…

The onset of high-mass star formation in the direct vicinity of the galactic mini-starburst W43

H. Beuther, J. Tackenberg, H. Linz +10

Context: The earliest stages of high-mass star formation are still poorly characterized. It is also unknown whether the initial conditions vary with environment. Aims: We want to i…
