Chemical Demographics of Star-forming Regions

Maria N. Drozdovskaya, Timea Csengeri, Maria Teresa Beltrán +35

Our understanding of complex organic chemistry during the formation of stars and planets is shaped by a handful of cherry-picked sources with bright molecular emission lines. This…

An Eccentric Massive Protobinary Assembled via a Core-merger Parabolic Encounter

Yao Wang, Yichen Zhang, Rubén Fedriani +14

Most massive stars form in binary systems, which profoundly influence their subsequent evolution. However, how such systems form remains poorly understood, with several competing s…

JWST Edge-on Disk Ice (JEDIce): Vibrationally hot, rotationally cold H in the outer disk of Oph 163131 non-thermally excited by UV and cosmic rays

Korash Assani, Zhi-Yun Li, Jennifer B. Bergner +19

Constraining ionization and excitation processes in protoplanetary disks is essential for understanding the chemical structure and evolution of disk material, shaping planet format…

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…

EPISODE II: Variability in the CO and HO rovibrational absorption lines in a periodically variable protostar EC 53

Seokho Lee, Jeong-Eun Lee, Chul-Hwan Kim +19

We present two-epoch JWST NIRSpec and MIRI observations of the young protostar EC 53 (V371 Ser), a periodically variable source with well-characterized quiescent and burst phases.…
