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.…

Direct evidence for magnetohydrodynamic disk winds driving rotating outflows in protostar HOPS 358

Chul-Hwan Kim, Jeong-Eun Lee, Doug Johnstone +4

Angular momentum removal is a fundamental requirement for star and planet formation, yet the mechanisms driving this process remain debated. Magnetohydrodynamic disk winds, launche…

EPISODE III: The Nested Jet/Outflow Morphology of EC 53 Revealed by JWST and ALMA

Seonjae Lee, Jeong-Eun Lee, Chul-Hwan Kim +8

We present an extensive study of the structure and kinematics of the jet and outflow of EC 53, a Class I protostar with a quasi-periodic variability, using combined James Webb Spac…

Unveiling two deeply embedded young protostars in the S68N Class 0 protostellar core with JWST/NIRSpec

Valentin J. M. Le Gouellec, Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas P. Greene +11

The near-infrared (NIR) emission of the youngest protostars still needs to be characterized to better understand the evolution of their accretion and ejection activity. We analyze…

CORINOS. III. Outflow Shocked Regions of the Low-mass Protostellar Source IRAS 15398-3359 with JWST and ALMA

Yuki Okoda, Yao-Lun Yang, Neal J. Evans +10

While molecular outflows have been studied in details with radio interferometry, observations of the hotter gas in protostellar outflows at a comparable physical scale is often cha…

Evidence for Jet/Outflow Shocks Heating the Environment Around the Class I Protostellar Source Elias 29: FAUST XXI

Yoko Oya, Eri Saiga, Anna Miotello +1

We have observed the late Class I protostellar source Elias~29 at a spatial-resolution of 70~au with the Atacama~Large~Millimeter/submillimeter~Array (ALMA) as part of the FAUST La…
