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 segregated CO and CO ices in protostellar envelopes

N. G. C. Brunken, A. C. A. Boogert, E. F. van Dishoeck +13

The evolution of interstellar ices can be studied with thermal tracers such as the vibrational modes of CO ice that show great diversity depending on their local chemical and t…

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…

Young Stellar Objects in NGC 346: A JWST NIRCam/MIRI Imaging Survey

Nolan Habel, Conor Nally, Laura Lenkic +17

We present a JWST imaging survey with NIRCam and MIRI of NGC 346, the brightest star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). By combining aperture and point spread func…

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): Linked accretion and ejection in a Class I protobinary system

Łukasz Tychoniec, Martijn L. van Gelder, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +19

Accretion and ejection sets the outcome of the star and planet formation process. The mid-infrared wavelength range offers key tracers of those processes that were difficult to det…
