Searching for Planets Orbiting Vega with the James Webb Space Telescope
Charles Beichman, Geoffrey Bryden, Jorge Llop-Sayson +15
The most prominent of the IRAS debris disk systems, Lyrae (Vega), at a distance of 7.7 pc, has been observed by both the NIRCam and MIRI instruments on the James Webb Space Tel…
JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects III: Detailed Imaging of the Nebular Environment Around the HL Tau Disk
Camryn Mullin, Ruobing Dong, Jarron Leisenring +13
As part of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) program "Direct Imaging of YSOs" (program ID 1179), we use JWST NIRCam's direct imaging mode in F…
High-precision atmospheric characterization of a Y dwarf with JWST NIRSpec G395H spectroscopy: isotopologue, C/O ratio, metallicity, and the abundances of six molecular species
Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas Roellig, Natasha E. Batalha +19
The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) marks a pivotal moment for precise atmospheric characterization of Y dwarfs, the coldest brown dwarf spectral type. In this stud…
The outflow of the protostar in B335: I
Klaus W. Hodapp, Laurie L. Chu, Thomas Greene +10
The isolated globule B335 contains a single, low luminosity Class 0 protostar associated with a bipolar nebula and outflow system seen nearly perpendicular to its axis. We observed…
JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. II. Deep Constraints on Giant Planets and a Planet Candidate Outside of the Spiral Disk Around SAO 206462
Gabriele Cugno, Jarron Leisenring, Kevin R. Wagner +17
We present JWST/NIRCam F187N, F200W, F405N and F410M direct imaging data of the disk surrounding SAO 206462. Previous images show a very structured disk, with a pair of spiral arms…
JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. I. Constraints on Planets Exterior to The Spiral Disk Around MWC 758
Kevin Wagner, Jarron Leisenring, Gabriele Cugno +18
MWC 758 is a young star hosting a spiral protoplanetary disk. The spirals are likely companion-driven, and two previously-identified candidate companions have been identified -- on…
