JWST observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 IV: PAH spectral characteristics, formation and evolution

Nicholas Clark, Els Peeters, Jan Cami +29

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in Oxygen-rich planetary nebulae (PNe), yet their formation and evolution in these environments is…

The JWST Proto-PAH project: Aromatic backbones with extensive aliphatic substitution account for both the aromatic and aliphatic emission

N. Clark, E. Peeters, J. Cami +18

We find that the aromatic and aliphatic emission bands in four carbon-rich post-asymptotic giant branch stars with class D emission arise from a single carrier population: extensiv…

The JWST Proto-PAH Project: Detection of the methyl radical CH in the highly evolved C-rich object SMP LMC 011

Jialu Li, D. A. García-Hernández, A. Manchado +17

We report the first detection of the neutral methyl radical CH in a highly evolved C-rich object, SMP LMC 011, using JWST MIRI/MRS. CH is well fitted by an excitation tempe…

Detection of C Combination Bands in the Near-IR Spectrum of Tc 1

Morgan M. Giese, Vincent J. Esposito, Simon Van Schuylenbergh +26

We report the detection of a set of new near-infrared emission features between 3.5 and 5.2 m in JWST/NIRSpec observations of Tc 1, the planetary nebula known for displaying the…

Mid-infrared JWST spectra of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud

G. C. Sloan, B. Aringer, Kathleen E. Kraemer +11

Mid-infrared spectra from the Medium Resolution Spectrometer on the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed the molecular chemistry of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud w…

Detection of CO ice in the planetary nebula NGC 6302

Charmi Bhatt, Simon W. Cao, Jan Cami +20

Using JWST/MIRI observations, we report the detection of CO ice in the dusty torus of the planetary nebula NGC 6302, an environment generally considered hostile to fragile mole…
