Probing the ubiquity of complex ices in protostars with JWST: the first systematic quantification of weak ice bands between 6.8 and 7.9 micron

Yuan Chen, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Katerina Slavicinska +18

Complex organic molecules (COMs) are the key to understanding the chemical evolution from simple interstellar molecules to potential prebiotic material. Although COMs have been ext…

Measuring metal sulfides in interstellar dust with PRIMA

Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Shaoshan Zeng, Yao-Lun Yang +5

Sulfur is known to undergo severe depletion when moving from diffuse clouds to the denser regimes of the interstellar medium in molecular clouds. The form in which sulfur gets depl…

The SOMA Atomic Outflow Survey. I. An Atomic OI and Highly Ionized OIII Outflow from Massive Protostar G11.94-00.62

Phillip Oakey, Yao-Lun Yang, Jonathan C. Tan +7

Massive stars regulate galaxy evolution and star formation through their physical and chemical feedback, but their formation remains poorly understood. Accretion-powered outflows p…

Image Profile (IMPRO) Fitting of Massive Protostars. I. Method Development and Test Cases of Cepheus A and G35.20-0.74N

Yao-Lun Yang, Jonathan C. Tan, Rubén Fedriani +1

Massive stars play a critical role in the evolution of galaxies, but their formation remains poorly understood. One challenge is accurate measurement of the physical properties of…

PEACHES IV: Tracing the Formation & Evolution of CH in Perseus Low-Mass Protostars

Jack G. Anderson, Jennifer B. Bergner, Yao-Lun Yang +2

The radical hydrocarbon molecule CH is widely detected in various stages of star and planet formation, and has emerged as a useful tracer of high-C/O gas within the photochemic…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. V. Clustered Protostars

Zoie Telkamp, Ruben Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan +16

We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of seven regions of ``clustered" star formation as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. We identify a total of 34…
