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…
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…
A Submillimeter Survey of CS Excitation in Protoplanetary Disks: Evidence of X-ray-Driven Sulfur Chemistry
Charles J. Law, Romane Le Gal, Karin I. Ãberg +12
The sulfur chemistry in protoplanetary disks influences the properties of nascent planets, including potential habitability. Although the inventory of sulfur molecules in disks has…
ExoALMA XIII. gas masses from N2H+ and C18O: a comparison of protoplanetary gas disk mass measurement techniques
Leon Trapman, Cristiano Longarini, Giovanni P. Rosotti +37
The gas masses of protoplanetary disks are important but elusive quantities. In this work we present new ALMA observations of N2H+ (3-2) for 11 exoALMA disks. N2H+ is a molecule se…
A Multi-line Analysis of the Distribution and Excitation of CS and HCS in the HD 163296 Disk
Charles J. Law, Romane Le Gal, Yoshihide Yamato +6
The abundance and distribution of sulfur-bearing molecules in protoplanetary disks directly influences the composition and potential habitability of nascent planets in addition to…
