JWST-MIRI's multi-dimensional view of mass loss in the irradiated disks of NGC 1977
Alice S. Booth, Qijia Zhou, Jinyoung Serena Kim +10
The evolution of protoplanetary disks, and consequently the outcomes of planet formation, are thought to be significantly altered in regions containing massive stars. Extreme cases…
SMA Observations Reveal Abundant HNC Chemistry in Transition Disks
Kyle Gresko, Charles J. Law, Deryl E. Long +8
The physical and chemical conditions of protoplanetary disks shape the properties of nascent planetary systems. The line ratios and relative abundances of the HCN-HNC isomer pair a…
Tidal Rock Grinding as a Source of H2 on Enceladus
Karin I. Oberg, Cara Magnabosco, Nicholas J. Tosca
The Solar System hosts multiple potentially habitable environments, including the subsurface ocean beneath the icy crust of Saturn's moon Enceladus. This ocean's composition is unu…
An SMA Molecular Inventory of the Edge-on Protoplanetary Disk Gomez's Hamburger
Erin M. Cusson, Lisa Wölfer, Richard Teague +10
Gomez's Hamburger (IRAS 18059-3211, GoHam) is a massive, edge-on protoplanetary disk that is potentially gravitationally unstable and hosts an overdensity that may be the site of a…
JWST-DECO: The Impact of Accretion on Mid-Infrared Observable Water in Planet-forming Disks
Jenny K. Calahan, Tarisai Dziire, Karin Ãberg +13
The inner few au of a protoplanetary disk hosts the majority of observed exoplanets and is the primary planet-forming zone of the disk. The mid-IR spectra of disks, with its rich f…
Characterizing the Extended Molecular Hydrogen Winds in Protoplanetary Disks from the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey
Mayank Narang, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Colette Salyk +14
We present a comprehensive analysis of extended H emission from 34 protoplanetary disks observed with the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey (JDISCS), supplement…
