JOYS+ analyses of OCN, NO, NO, and complex cyanides in ices -- Thermal processing results in modest enhancement of OCN ice
P. Nazari, N. Brunken, Y. Chen +12
Nitrogen-bearing molecules are more difficult to observe than oxygen-bearing ones, mainly due to the lower abundance of nitrogen in the interstellar medium. Therefore, the formatio…
Accretion onto the Embedded Protostar L1527 IRS: Insights from JWST NIRSpec and MIRI Observations
W. Blake Drechsler, John J. Tobin, Patrick D. Sheehan +12
Accretion is the primary driver of protostellar evolution, regulating mass assembly and shaping the physical and chemical environments of young stellar objects. Quantifying accreti…
JOYS: JWST MIRI/MRS spectra of the inner 500 au region of the L1527 IRS bipolar outflow
R. Devaraj, E. F. van Dishoeck, T. P. Ray +12
This study characterized the physical and kinematic properties within the innermost 500 au region of the L1527 bipolar outflow, a class 0/I low-mass protostar using JWST MIRI/MRS s…
UV-irradiated outflows from low-mass protostars in Ophiuchus with JWST/MIRI
I. M. Skretas, A. Karska, L. Francis +7
The main accretion phase of protostars is characterized by the ejection of material in the form of jets/outflows. External UV irradiation can potentially have a significant impact…
JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS): overview of program and early results
E. F. van Dishoeck, Å. Tychoniec, W. R. M. Rocha +34
The embedded phase is a crucial period in the development of a young star. Mid-IR observations, now possible with JWST with unprecedented sensitivity, spectral resolution and sharp…
Mid-infrared extinction curve for protostellar envelopes from JWST-detected embedded jet emission: the case of TMC1A
K. D. Assani, Z. -Y. Li, J. P. Ramsey +15
Context: Dust grains are key components of the interstellar medium and play a central role in star formation, acting as catalysts for chemical reactions and as building blocks of p…
