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…

JWST/MIRI Detection of Molecular H Winds from an Edge-on Class II Source HV Tau C

Vinod Chandra Pathak, P. Manoj, Himanshu Tyagi +14

The evolution of protoplanetary disks is regulated by accretion onto the central star and mass loss through jets and winds. While atomic and ionized outflows are commonly observed,…
