MICONIC: The spatial relationship between star formation and the AGN in Centaurus A revealed by JWST/MIRI
O. C. Jones, M. L. Jones, D. Dicken +21
Centaurus A (Cen A), the nearest active radio galaxy, hosts a warped dust disc formed in a gas-rich merger. We present JWST/MIRI imaging in three filters, F560W, F770W, and F1130W,…
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…
MICONIC: The multiphase circumnuclear region of Centaurus A as seen with JWST/MIRI MRS observations. I. Spectral inventory and properties of the warm molecular disk
L. Evangelista, P. Guillard, J. Martin +21
Supermassive black holes power Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), injecting energy that regulates accretion and shapes host galaxies. We investigate the morphology, excitation, and kine…
MINDS: The very low-mass star and brown dwarf sample. Detections and trends in the inner disk gas
A. M. Arabhavi, I. Kamp, Th. Henning +22
Planet-forming disks around brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars (VLMS) are on average less massive and are expected to undergo faster radial solid transport than their higher mass…
MINDS: JWST/NIRCam imaging of the protoplanetary disk PDS 70
V. Christiaens, M. Samland, Th. Henning +28
Context. Two protoplanets have recently been discovered within the PDS 70 protoplanetary disk. JWST/NIRCam offers a unique opportunity to characterize them and their birth environm…
