JOYS+ analyses of OCN, NO, NO, and complex cyanides in ices -- Thermal processing results in modest enhancement of OCN ice
P. Nazari, N. Brunken, Y. Chen +12
Nitrogen-bearing molecules are more difficult to observe than oxygen-bearing ones, mainly due to the lower abundance of nitrogen in the interstellar medium. Therefore, the formatio…
JOYS: Launch and destruction of dust in protostellar jets. The case of BHR71-IRS1 with JWST MIRI
Łukasz Tychoniec, Logan Francis, Maria Gabriela Navarro +25
Protostellar winds can theoretically lift solids from the planet-forming disks, but direct evidence for launched dust has been scarce so far. Numerous atomic lines that are unique…
JOYS: A JWST/MIRI survey of the evolution of H winds and jets from low-mass protostars
L. Francis, Ł. Tychoniec, E. F. van Dishoeck +20
Protostellar outflows display wide-angle winds and collimated jets, the magnetocentrifugal launching of which enables accretion onto the protostar. The majority of the outflow mass…
JOYS: Linking the molecular ice and gas-phase composition towards the high-mass hot core IRAS 18089-1732
C. Gieser, W. R. M. Rocha, Y. Chen +11
Context. The formation and destruction of molecules in the interstellar medium is a complex interplay between gas-phase reactions as well as processes on grain surfaces and within…
Unlocking accretion rate diagnostics for high-mass protostars using JWST/MIRI HI lines
S. D. Reyes-Reyes, H. Beuther, E. F. van Dishoeck +14
While many aspects of high-mass star formation have been investigated, the accretion onto the central protostars is one of the most fundamental but less explored physical propertie…
JOYS: JWST MIRI/MRS spectra of the inner 500 au region of the L1527 IRS bipolar outflow
R. Devaraj, E. F. van Dishoeck, T. P. Ray +12
This study characterized the physical and kinematic properties within the innermost 500 au region of the L1527 bipolar outflow, a class 0/I low-mass protostar using JWST MIRI/MRS s…
PROJECT-J: the shocking H2 outflow from HH46
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Brunella Nisini, Teresa Giannini +14
We analyze the H2 emission observed in the HH46 Class I system as part of PROJECT-J (Protostellar Jets Cradle Tested with JWST), to investigate the origin and excitation of the war…
The Interstellar Medium in I Zw 18 seen with JWST/MIRI: II. Warm Molecular Hydrogen and Warm Dust
L. K. Hunt, B. T. Draine, M. G. Navarro +16
We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer of IZw18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of % Solar. Here, we investigate warm molecular hydr…
The Interstellar Medium in IZw18 seen with JWST/MIRI: I. Highly Ionized Gas
L. K. Hunt, A. Aloisi, M. G. Navarro +19
We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer of IZw18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of 3% Solar. Its proximity enables a detailed study of…
JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS): overview of program and early results
E. F. van Dishoeck, Ł. Tychoniec, W. R. M. Rocha +34
The embedded phase is a crucial period in the development of a young star. Mid-IR observations, now possible with JWST with unprecedented sensitivity, spectral resolution and sharp…
HDO ice detected toward an isolated low-mass protostar with JWST
Katerina Slavicinska, Łukasz Tychoniec, María Gabriela Navarro +15
Water is detected in environments representing every stage of star and solar system formation, but its chemical evolution throughout these stages remains poorly constrained. Deuter…
Mid-infrared extinction curve for protostellar envelopes from JWST-detected embedded jet emission: the case of TMC1A
K. D. Assani, Z. -Y. Li, J. P. Ramsey +15
Context: Dust grains are key components of the interstellar medium and play a central role in star formation, acting as catalysts for chemical reactions and as building blocks of p…
Ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) as a potentially significant sulfur sink in interstellar ices
Katerina Slavicinska, Adwin Boogert, Łukasz Tychoniec +6
Sulfur is depleted with respect to its cosmic standard abundance in dense star-forming regions. It has been suggested that this depletion is caused by the freeze-out of sulfur on i…
JOYS+ study of solid state C/C isotope ratios in protostellar envelopes: Observations of CO and CO ice with JWST
N. G. C. Brunken, E. F. van Dishoeck, K. Slavicinska +12
The carbon isotope ratio is a powerful tool for studying the evolution of stellar systems. Recent detections of CO isotopologues in disks and exoplanet atmospheres pointed towards…
JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS). HH 211: the textbook case of a protostellar jet and outflow
A. Caratti o Garatti, T. P. Ray, P. J. Kavanagh +22
We use the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) (5-28 um), to study the embedded HH 211 flow. We map a 0.95'x0.22' region, covering the full ext…
