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 DrÄ Å¼kowska +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…
