JWST-MIRI's multi-dimensional view of mass loss in the irradiated disks of NGC 1977

Alice S. Booth, Qijia Zhou, Jinyoung Serena Kim +10

The evolution of protoplanetary disks, and consequently the outcomes of planet formation, are thought to be significantly altered in regions containing massive stars. Extreme cases…

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…

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…

PENELLOPE: IX. Lithium, iron and barium elemental abundances in eight nearby young clusters

R. Carini, K. Biazzo, A. Frasca +19

We conducted a homogeneous chemical analysis of pre-main sequence stars with effective temperatures ranging from 3000 K to 5500 K in eight nearby star-forming regions…

PENELLOPE VII: Revisiting empirical relations to measure accretion luminosity

E. Fiorellino, J. M. Alcalá, C. F. Manara +10

The accretion luminosity (Lacc) in young, low-mass stars is crucial for understanding stellar formation, but direct measurements are often hindered by limited spectral coverage and…

The ODYSSEUS Survey. Characterizing magnetospheric geometries and hotspot structures in T Tauri stars

Caeley V. Pittman, C. C. Espaillat, Connor E. Robinson +20

Magnetospheric accretion is a key process that shapes the inner disks of T Tauri stars, controlling mass and angular momentum evolution. It produces strong ultraviolet and optical…
