Magnetic field measurements in a sample of Class I and flat-spectrum protostars observed with SPIRou
L. Drouglazet, E. Alecian, A. Sousa +27
Magnetic fields play a crucial role throughout stellar evolution, regulating angular momentum, channelling accretion, and launching jets and outflows. While the magnetic properties…
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…
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…
