Very Large Telescope observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS III: High-resolution monitoring of CN and forbidden oxygen emission across the perihelion passage with ESPRESSO

Baltasar Luco, Thomas H. Puzia, Rohan Rahatgaonkar +2

We characterize in 3I/ATLAS the heliocentric evolution of the CN production rate and the forbidden [OI] emission, describe the broader emission line inventory, and release the anal…

Tidal pre-conditioning and ram-pressure stripping in NGC 1427A. Deep VLT/MUSE spectroscopy and FUV-to-radio observations trace a Fornax Cluster dwarf in transformation

J. P. Carvajal, T. H. Puzia, M. Blaña +11

The early environmental transformation of low-mass cluster galaxies from gas-rich to gas-poor remains poorly constrained, partly because clear, phase-resolved observations are rare…

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…

The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS).VIII. A Support Vector Machine Approach for Disentangling Globular Clusters from other Sources

Yasna Ordenes-Briceño, Thomas H. Puzia, Paul Eigenthaler +8

Wide-field, multi-band surveys now detect millions of unresolved sources in nearby galaxy clusters, yet separating globular clusters (GCs) from foreground stars and background gala…

Pre-perihelion evolution of the NiI/FeI abundance ratio in the coma of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. From extreme to normal

Damien Hutsemékers, Jean Manfroid, Emmanuël Jehin +9

Emission lines of FeI and NiI are commonly found in the coma of Solar System comets, even at large heliocentric distances. These atoms are most likely released from the surface of…

Spectral Characteristics of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS from SOAR Observations

Thomas H. Puzia, Rohan Rahatgaonkar, Juan Pablo Carvajal +2

Interstellar objects (ISOs) provide unique insights into the building blocks and conditions of extrasolar planetary systems. The newly discovered object, 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1), repr…

Very Large Telescope Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS. II. From Quiescence to Glow: Dramatic Rise of Ni i Emission and Incipient CN Outgassing at Large Heliocentric Distances*

Rohan Rahatgaonkar, Juan Pablo Carvajal, Thomas H. Puzia +25

We report VLT spectroscopy of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025~N1) from to ~au using X-shooter (300--550\,nm, ) and UVES (opt…

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 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…

Discovery of a collimated jet from the low luminosity protostar IRAS 162532429 in a quiescent accretion phase with the JWST

Mayank Narang, Manoj P., Himanshu Tyagi +36

Investigating Protostellar Accretion (IPA) is a JWST Cycle~1 GO program that uses NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS to obtain 2.9--28~m spectral cubes of young, deeply embedded protostar…

300: An ACA 870 m Continuum Survey of Orion Protostars and their Evolution

Samuel Federman, S. Thomas Megeath, John J. Tobin +11

We present an 870 m continuum survey of 300 protostars from the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA). These data measure protostellar flux densi…
