Angular Momentum Drain: Despinning Embedded Planetesimals
Stephen Li, Maggie Ju, A. C. Quillen +1
Young and forming planetesimals experience impacts from particles present in a protostellar disk. Using crater scaling laws, we integrate ejecta distributions for oblique impacts.…
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…
