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…
Unlocking accretion rate diagnostics for high-mass protostars using JWST/MIRI HI lines
S. D. Reyes-Reyes, H. Beuther, E. F. van Dishoeck +14
While many aspects of high-mass star formation have been investigated, the accretion onto the central protostars is one of the most fundamental but less explored physical propertie…
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…
PROJECT-J: the shocking H2 outflow from HH46
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Brunella Nisini, Teresa Giannini +14
We analyze the H2 emission observed in the HH46 Class I system as part of PROJECT-J (Protostellar Jets Cradle Tested with JWST), to investigate the origin and excitation of the war…
A Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Study of Young Stellar Objects in the SMC Region NGC 346: JWST Detects Dust, Accretion, Ices and Outflows
Nolan Habel, Omnarayani Nayak, Patrick J. Kavanagh +13
We present mid-infrared spectroscopic observations of intermediate- to high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) in the low-metallicity star-forming region NGC 346 located within the…
The JWST/MIRI view of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 I.: a UV irradiated torus and a hot bubble triggering PAH formation
Mikako Matsuura, Kevin Volk, Patrick Kavanagh +34
NGC 6302 is a spectacular bipolar planetary nebula (PN) whose spectrum exhibits fast outflows and highly ionized emission lines, indicating the presence of a very hot central star…
