HO in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks
Colette Salyk, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Ke Zhang +12
Isotopologues play an important role in solar system cosmochemistry studies, revealing details of early planet formation physics and chemistry. Oxygen isotopes, as measured in sola…
JWST's sharper view of EX Lup: cold water from ice sublimation during accretion outbursts
Sarah A. Smith, Carlos E. Romero-Mirza, Andrea Banzatti +9
The unstable accretion phases during pre-main-sequence evolution of T Tauri stars produce variable irradiation and heating of planet-forming regions. A strong accretion outburst wa…
The First JWST View of a 30-Myr-old Protoplanetary Disk Reveals a Late-stage Carbon-rich Phase
Feng Long, Ilaria Pascucci, Adrien Houge +20
We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum of the inner disk of WISE J044634.16262756.1B (hereafter J0446B), an old (34 Myr) M4.5 star but with hints of ongoing accretion. The sp…
Water in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI: spectral excitation atlas and radial distribution from temperature diagnostic diagrams and Doppler mapping
Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk, Klaus M. Pontoppidan +19
This work aims at providing fundamental general tools for the analysis of water spectra as observed in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI. We analyze 25 high-quality spectra from…
