JWST-MIRI's multi-dimensional view of mass loss in the irradiated disks of NGC 1977

Alice S. Booth, Qijia Zhou, Jinyoung Serena Kim +10

The evolution of protoplanetary disks, and consequently the outcomes of planet formation, are thought to be significantly altered in regions containing massive stars. Extreme cases…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Radio Survey. II. Radio Emission from High-Luminosity Protostars

Francisco Sequeira-Murillo, Viviana Rosero, Joshua Marvil +9

We present centimeter continuum observations of seven high luminosity massive protostars and their surrounding sources in regions with multiple targets, as part of the SOFIA Massiv…

The past, present and future of observations of externally irradiated disks

Planet formation environments collaboration, Megan Allen, Rossella Anania +51

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the community studying the effect of ultraviolet radiation environment, predominantly set by OB stars, on protoplanetary disc evolutio…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. V. Clustered Protostars

Zoie Telkamp, Ruben Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan +16

We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of seven regions of ``clustered" star formation as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. We identify a total of 34…

Discovery of Radio Recombination Lines from Proplyds in the Orion Nebula Cluster

Ryan D. Boyden, Kimberly L. Emig, Nicholas P. Ballering +5

We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations that, for the first time, detect hydrogen and helium radio recombination lines from a protoplanetary disk.…

Water Ice in the Edge-On Orion Silhouette Disk 114--426 from JWST NIRCam Images

Nicholas P. Ballering, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Ryan D. Boyden +3

We examine images of the protoplanetary disk 114--426 with JWST/NIRCam in 12 bands. This large disk is oriented edge-on with a dark midplane flanked by lobes of scattered light. Th…
