Star Planet Interactions
Arghyadeep Paul, Kristina Kislyakova, Manuel Güdel +13
Star-planet interactions (SPIs) describe the continuous exchange of energy, momentum, and mass between exoplanets and their host stars through radiative, tidal, magnetic, and parti…
Stellar Forcing of (exo)Planetary Environments
Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Erika Palmerio, Manuel Güdel +13
The environments of exoplanets are fundamentally shaped by the magnetic activity of their host stars through radiative, plasma, and particle-driven processes. This article presents…
Probing the ubiquity of complex ices in protostars with JWST: the first systematic quantification of weak ice bands between 6.8 and 7.9 micron
Yuan Chen, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Katerina Slavicinska +18
Complex organic molecules (COMs) are the key to understanding the chemical evolution from simple interstellar molecules to potential prebiotic material. Although COMs have been ext…
MINDS: Complementary inclinations in the binary system HK Tau reveal gas- and ice-phase chemistry
Alice Somigliana, Giulia Perotti, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +18
[Abridged] HK Tau is a roughly equal mass pre-main sequence binary system consisting of a low-inclination primary (57 deg) and an edge-on (83 deg) secondary. We present JWST/MIRI o…
Spatially resolved metallicity and ionization in the merging system Gz9p3 at z=9.3
Arjan Bik, Javier Ãlvarez-Márquez, Alejandro Crespo Gómez +26
Studying the interstellar medium (ISM) in merging high-redshift galaxies is crucial for understanding early galaxy assembly, star formation, and black hole growth, predicted by hie…
MINDS: Intertwined evolution of dust and gas in large planet-forming disks. A diversity driven by halted pebble drift?
Benoît Tabone, Milou Temmink, Laurens B. F. M. Waters +25
(Abridged) We aim to investigate the inner regions of large and massive disks orbiting T Tauri stars, thought to be progenitors of systems with wide-orbit planets and possible case…
