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…

From Young to Older Disks: JWST/MIRI Evidence for Fading Molecular Emission and Hints for Elevated C/O in Upper Scorpius

Chengyan Xie, Ilaria Pascucci, Feng Long +23

We present JWST/MIRI spectroscopy of 14 disks in the older (~5-10 Myr) Upper Scorpius (USco) association and use slab of gas in local thermal equilibrium to infer basic gas propert…

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…

Molecular Similarity and Water Diversity in Coeval Binary Disks: JWST/MIRI Observations of Sz 65 and Sz 66

Jinghuai Yao, Ke Zhang, Andrea Banzatti +10

We present JWST/MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer spectra of the wide-separation (projected separation au) binary protoplanetary disks Sz 65 (K7; ) and Sz…

MINDS: Complementary inclinations in the binary system HK Tau reveal gas- and ice-phase chemistry

Alice Somigliana, Giulia Perotti, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +18

[Abridged] HK Tau is a roughly equal mass pre-main sequence binary system consisting of a low-inclination primary (57 deg) and an edge-on (83 deg) secondary. We present JWST/MIRI o…

Chemistry and IR emission of acetylene in planet-forming regions of T Tauri disks. Impact of elemental abundances and dust properties

Pacôme Estève, Benoît Tabone, Emilie Habart +5

(Abridged) We aim to explore the parameters that influence the mid-infrared emission of CH and HO, and if the spread observed in / is tr…
