Spatially resolved metallicity and ionization in the merging system Gz9p3 at z=9.3

Arjan Bik, Javier Álvarez-Márquez, Alejandro Crespo Gómez +26

Studying the interstellar medium (ISM) in merging high-redshift galaxies is crucial for understanding early galaxy assembly, star formation, and black hole growth, predicted by hie…

SO2, silicate clouds, but no CH4 detected in a warm Neptune

Achrene Dyrek, Michiel Min, Leen Decin +44

WASP-107b is a warm (~740 K) transiting planet with a Neptune-like mass of ~30.5 Earth masses and Jupiter-like radius of ~0.94 Jupiter radius, whose extended atmosphere is eroding.…

The Rich JWST Spectrum of the Western Nucleus of Arp 220: Shocked Hot Core Chemistry Dominates the Inner Disk

Victorine Buiten, Paul van der Werf, Serena Viti +20

We present full 3-28 JWST MIRI/MRS and NIRSpec/IFU spectra of the western nucleus of Arp 220, the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy. This nucleus has long been s…

MIRI-JWST mid-infrared direct imaging of the debris disk of HD106906

Daniel Rouan, Anthony Boccaletti, Clément Perrot +20

We report MIRI-JWST coronagraphic observations at 11.3 and 15.5 mic of the debris disk around the young star HD 106906. The observations were made to characterize the structure, te…

MIDIS: MIRI uncovers Virgil, the first Little Red Dot with clear detection of its host galaxy at z ~ 6.6

Edoardo Iani, Pierluigi Rinaldi, Karina I. Caputi +24

We present Virgil, a MIRI extremely red object (MERO) detected with the F1000W filter as part of the MIRI Deep Imaging Survey (MIDIS) observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (H…

First unambiguous detection of ammonia in the atmosphere of a planetary mass companion with JWST/MIRI coronagraphs

Mathilde Mâlin, Anthony Boccaletti, Clément Perrot +28

The newly accessible mid-infrared (MIR) window offered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for exoplanet imaging is expected to provide valuable information to characterize th…
