JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. IV. Detailed Imaging of the Protoplanetary Disk around TW Hya
Yu-Chia Lin, Jarron Leisenring, Schuyler G. Wolff +14
As the nearest protoplanetary disk to Earth ( pc), TW Hya is one of the most studied protoplanetary disks and a critical benchmark for testing planet formation theories.…
The Outflow of the B335 Protostar II: After the Outburst
Klaus W. Hodapp, Adwin Boogert, Doug Johnstone +6
The B335 protostar has recently undergone a major, still ongoing, outburst detected in scattered light from its outflow cavity, offering a rare opportunity to study its impact on a…
JWST spectral retrieval of cold directly imaged planet WD0806 b and the first measurement of altitude-dependent K in exoplanet atmospheres
Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas Roellig, Natasha E. Batalha +10
WD0806 b is a rare exoplanet companion orbiting a white dwarf, currently with a projected orbital distance of 2500 au. The Spitzer mid-IR photometry suggests that the temperature i…
Probing the Outskirts of M Dwarf Planetary Systems with a Cycle 1 JWST NIRCam Coronagraphy Survey
Ellis Bogat, Joshua E. Schlieder, Kellen D. Lawson +18
The population of giant planets on wide orbits around low-mass M dwarf stars is poorly understood, but the unprecedented sensitivity of JWST NIRCam coronagraphic imaging now provid…
Unveiling two deeply embedded young protostars in the S68N Class 0 protostellar core with JWST/NIRSpec
Valentin J. M. Le Gouellec, Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas P. Greene +11
The near-infrared (NIR) emission of the youngest protostars still needs to be characterized to better understand the evolution of their accretion and ejection activity. We analyze…
Identification of a turnover in the initial mass function of a young stellar cluster down to 0.5 M
Matthew De Furio, Michael R. Meyer, Thomas Greene +11
A successful theory of star formation should predict the number of objects as a function of their mass produced through star-forming events. Previous studies in star-forming region…
