Gas Flows and Mass Accretion Rates in Eight Dippers: HD 142666, HD 143006, HD 145718, V935 Sco, DoAr 25, EPIC 204638512, EPIC 205151387, and EPIC 203850058
Michael L. Sitko, Ray W. Russell, Korash D. Assani +2
One of the scenarios used to explain the dipper phenomenon in stars is having the innermost disk regions being close to the line of sight to the star - inclined greater than 60 deg…
JWST Edge-on Disk Ice (JEDIce): Vibrationally hot, rotationally cold H in the outer disk of Oph 163131 non-thermally excited by UV and cosmic rays
Korash Assani, Zhi-Yun Li, Jennifer B. Bergner +19
Constraining ionization and excitation processes in protoplanetary disks is essential for understanding the chemical structure and evolution of disk material, shaping planet format…
JOYS: Launching and destruction of dust in protostellar jets. The case of BHR71-IRS1 with JWST/MIRI
Åukasz Tychoniec, Logan Francis, Maria Gabriela Navarro +24
Protostellar winds can theoretically lift solids from the planet-forming disks, but direct evidence for launched dust has been scarce so far. Numerous atomic lines that are unique…
JOYS: A JWST/MIRI survey of the evolution of H winds and jets from low-mass protostars
L. Francis, Å. 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…
JWST Edge-on Disk Ice (JEDIce): Program overview and ice survey results
Jennifer B. Bergner, Nicole Arulanantham, Emmanuel Dartois +21
The icy material within protoplanetary disks plays a central role in planet formation, yet remains poorly characterized by observations. We present 1.6-28m spectra of five disk…
The Flying Saucer edge-on disc's Near Infrared silhouette revealed by the JWST JEDIce program
Emmanuel Dartois, Jennifer A. Noble, Jennifer B. Bergner +17
Edge-on discs offer a unique opportunity to probe radial and vertical dust and gas distributions in the protoplanetary phase. This study aims to investigate the distribution of mic…
