IPA: Morphology and Kinematics of Molecular Hydrogen Winds in Five Young Protostars across the Mass Spectrum Observed with JWST

Himanshu Tyagi, P. Manoj, Mayank Narang +29

Molecular winds may play a key role in governing angular momentum transport and accretion during the early evolution of protostars. We present the morphology and kinematic properti…

27 years of Spaceborne IR Astronomy: An ISO, Spitzer, WISE and NEOWISE Survey for Large-Amplitude Variability in Young Stellar Objects

Chinmay S. Kulkarni, Thomas Behling, Elisabeth E. Banks +10

Infrared observations can probe photometric variability across the full evolutionary range of young stellar objects (YSOs), from deeply embedded protostars to pre-main-sequence sta…

The Structure and Kinematics of Three Class 0 Protostellar Jets from JWST

Samuel A. Federman, S. Thomas Megeath, Alessio Caratti o Garatti +20

We present observations of jets within 2000 au of three deeply embedded protostars using 2.9-27 micron observations with JWST. These observations show the morphologies and kinemati…

IPA. Accretion rate of a low-mass Class 0 protostar, measured via mid-infrared fluorescent OH emission

Dan M. Watson, Mayank Narang, Caeley V. Pittman +41

The earliest stages of star formation are highlighted by complex interactions between accretion, outflow, and radiative processes, which shape the chemical and physical environment…

JWST-IPA: Chemical Inventory and Spatial Mapping of Ices in the Protostar HOPS370 -- Evidence for an Opacity Hole and Thermal Processing of Ices

Himanshu Tyagi, Manoj P., Mayank Narang +35

The composition of protoplanetary disks, and hence the initial conditions of planet formation, may be strongly influenced by the infall and thermal processing of material during th…

JWST detections of amorphous and crystalline HDO ice toward massive protostars

Katerina Slavicinska, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Łukasz Tychoniec +19

This work aims to utilize the increased sensitivity and resolution of the JWST to quantify the HDO/HO ratio in ices toward young stellar objects (YSOs) and to determine if th…

JWST/MIRI detection of suprathermal OH rotational emissions: probing the dissociation of the water by Lyman alpha photons near the protostar HOPS 370

David A. Neufeld, P. Manoj, Himanshu Tyagi +22

Using the MIRI/MRS spectrometer on JWST, we have detected pure rotational, suprathermal OH emissions from the vicinity of the intermediate-mass protostar HOPS 370 (OMC2/FIR3). Thes…

JWST observations of CO ice: Tracing the chemical environment and thermal history of ices in protostellar envelopes

Nashanty G. C. Brunken, Will R. M. Rocha, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +38

The structure and composition of simple ices can be modified during stellar evolution by protostellar heating. Key to understanding the involved processes are thermal and chemical…

Hunt for complex cyanides in protostellar ices with JWST: Tentative detection of CHCN and CHCN

P. Nazari, W. R. M. Rocha, A. E. Rubinstein +20

Nitrogen-bearing complex organic molecules have been commonly detected in the gas phase but not yet in interstellar ices. This has led to the long-standing question of whether thes…

IPA: Class 0 Protostars Viewed in CO Emission Using JWST

Adam E. Rubinstein, Neal J. Evans, Himanshu Tyagi +24

We investigate the bright CO fundamental emission in the central regions of five protostars in their primary mass assembly phase using new observations from JWST's Near-Infrared Sp…
