Chemistry on solar system scales
Catherine Walsh, Maria Drozdovskaya, Dmitry Semenov +33
The initial chemical composition of planets, primitive bodies in our solar system, and exoplanets is ultimately set by their nascent protoplanetary disks. Yet observing key carbon-…
Super-Earth Interiors Shrink by About 10% as They Crystallise
Tim Lichtenberg, Mara Attia, Harrison Nicholls +26
Super-Earth exoplanets are among the most abundant planets known, yet their bulk densities leave the interior state degenerate. The static structure models used to interpret them,…
Around the water snowline: I. Effects of dynamical and chemical interplay on mid-infrared water spectra of protoplanetary discs
Till Kaeufer, Sebastiaan Krijt, Edwin A. Bergin +2
Protoplanetary discs' infrared water spectra (e.g. as observed by JWST) encode information about the underlying water distribution and physical conditions. In this work, we examine…
The JDISC Survey: Inner Disk Chemistry of Class I/FS Disks and Tentative Evidence for Early Pebble Drift
Ke Zhang, Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk +22
We present the first chemical survey of Class I and Flat-Spectrum (I/FS) disks using JWST MIRI/MRS, targeting sixteen sources in the Ophiuchus star-forming region. Through empirica…
Planetesimal Formation Across the Stellar Mass Spectrum and its Influence on Exoplanet-Inherited Volatile Budgets
Joe Williams, Sebastiaan Krijt, Joanna Drążkowska +1
Protoplanetary discs emerging from collapsing molecular clouds are capable of forming planetesimals at the water snowline during both the cloud collapse and Class II disc phases; s…
Chemical Divergence and Water Depletion: Gas Properties of Evolved Upper Scorpius Disks Revealed by JWST/MIRI
Eshan Raul, Ke Zhang, Abygail Waggoner +25
Tracing the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks over time requires observations of disks at different ages. However, most JWST/MIRI surveys published to date have targeted y…
JWST-DECO: The Impact of Accretion on Mid-Infrared Observable Water in Planet-forming Disks
Jenny K. Calahan, Tarisai Dziire, Karin Öberg +13
The inner few au of a protoplanetary disk hosts the majority of observed exoplanets and is the primary planet-forming zone of the disk. The mid-IR spectra of disks, with its rich f…
Characterizing the Extended Molecular Hydrogen Winds in Protoplanetary Disks from the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey
Mayank Narang, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Colette Salyk +14
We present a comprehensive analysis of extended H emission from 34 protoplanetary disks observed with the JWST Disk Infrared Spectroscopic Chemistry Survey (JDISCS), supplement…
Simulating the interplay between the snowline pebble flux and ongoing planet formation and migration
Danila Astrakhantsev, Sebastiaan Krijt, Sofia Savvidou +1
Pebble drift plays a central role in modern planet formation models. In this work we carry out planet formation simulations (including pebble accretion and migration) for a range o…
JWST/MIRI Hydrocarbon and Water Absorption in the Wind of a Young Disk: Signatures of Pebble Drift and Carbon Grain Sublimation
María José Colmenares, Edwin A. Bergin, Ke Zhang +27
We present JWST/MIRI-MRS observations of ISO-Oph 37, a highly inclined flat-spectrum (1 Myr old) source, to investigate the chemical composition and dynamical origin of i…
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…
Tracing Pebble Drift History in Two Protoplanetary Disks with CO Enhancement
Tayt Armitage, Joe Williams, Ke Zhang +15
Pebble drift is an important mechanism for supplying the materials needed to build planets in the inner region of protoplanetary disks. Thus, constraining pebble drift's timescales…
Protoplanetary disk cavities with JWST-MIRI: a dichotomy in molecular emission
Patrick Mallaney, Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk +24
The evolution of planet-forming regions in protoplanetary disks is of fundamental importance to understanding planet formation. Disks with a central deficit in dust emission, a "ca…
