Revealing a main-sequence star that consumed a planet with JWST
Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson, Colette Salyk +8
The subluminous red nova (SLRN) ZTF SLRN-2020 is the most compelling direct detection of a planet being consumed by its host star, a scenario known as a planetary engulfment event.…
JWST/MIRI Study of the Enigmatic Mid-Infrared Rings in the Planetary Nebula NGC 1514
Michael E. Ressler, Alba Aller, David Jones +3
While NGC 1514 is an elliptical, but complex, planetary nebula at optical wavelengths, it was discovered to have a pair of infrared-bright, axisymmetric rings contained within its…
Resolving Twin Jets and Twin Disks with JWST and ALMA: The Young WL 20 Multiple System
Mary Barsony, Michael E. Ressler, Valentin J. M. Le Gouellec +2
We report the discovery of jets emanating from pre-main-sequence objects exclusively at mid-infrared wavelengths, enabled by the superb sensitivity of JWST's Mid-InfraRed Medium-Re…
Investigating the Electron Capture Supernova Candidate AT 2019abn with JWST Spectroscopy
Sam Rose, Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson +5
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened up a new window to study highly reddened explosive transients. We present results from late-time (1421 days post-explosion) JWST fo…
The binary and the disk: the beauty is found within NGC3132 with JWST
Raghvendra Sahai, Valentin Bujarrabal, Guillermo Quintana-Lacaci +4
The planetary nebula (PN) NGC3132 is a striking example of the dramatic but poorly understood, mass-loss phenomena that (1-8) Msun stars undergo during their death throes as they e…
Nested Dust Shells around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 140 observed with JWST
Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Yinuo Han +29
Massive colliding-wind binaries that host a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star present a potentially important source of dust and chemical enrichment in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, t…
