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…

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…

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…

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…

The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others

P. W. Lucas, L. C. Smith, Z. Guo +16

We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) database of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with mag, aiming to provide…
