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.…

Characterizing the Extended Molecular Hydrogen Winds in Protoplanetary Disks from the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey

Mayank Narang, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Colette Salyk +14

We present a comprehensive analysis of extended H emission from 34 protoplanetary disks observed with the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey (JDISCS), supplement…

An HST Wide Field Survey of the Galactic Bulge: Overview, Strategy, and First Results

Sean K. Terry, Jay Anderson, Charles A. Beichman +13

We present an HST imaging survey of a 1.1 sq. degree sky area toward the Milky Way Galactic Bulge. This field significantly overlaps with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Bu…

HO in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks

Colette Salyk, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Ke Zhang +12

Isotopologues play an important role in solar system cosmochemistry studies, revealing details of early planet formation physics and chemistry. Oxygen isotopes, as measured in sola…

The Outbursting YSOs Catalogue (OYCAT)

C. Contreras Peña, J. -E. Lee, G. Herczeg +39

YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large ch…

The JDISC Survey: Linking the Physics and Chemistry of Inner and Outer Protoplanetary Disk Zones

Nicole Arulanantham, Colette Salyk, Klaus Pontoppidan +20

Mid-infrared spectroscopy of protoplanetary disks provides a chemical inventory of gas within a few au, where planets are readily detected around older stars. With the JWST Disk In…
