SMA Observations Reveal Abundant HNC Chemistry in Transition Disks

Kyle Gresko, Charles J. Law, Deryl E. Long +8

The physical and chemical conditions of protoplanetary disks shape the properties of nascent planetary systems. The line ratios and relative abundances of the HCN-HNC isomer pair a…

JWST Edge-on Disk Ice (JEDIce): Program overview and ice survey results

Jennifer B. Bergner, Nicole Arulanantham, Emmanuel Dartois +21

The icy material within protoplanetary disks plays a central role in planet formation, yet remains poorly characterized by observations. We present 1.6-28m spectra of five disks…

Functionalization of Benzene Ices by Atomic Oxygen

Elettra L. Piacentino, Alexandra McKinnon, Nora Hänni +6

Small aromatic molecules, including functionalized derivatives of benzene, are known to be present throughout the different stages of star and planet formation. In particular, oxyg…

CORINOS IV: Quantifying Baseline-Fitting Uncertainties in SO Ice Measurements with JWST/MIRI

Rachel E. Gross, Yao-Lun Yang, L. Ilsedore Cleeves +15

Sulfur dioxide (SO) ice has been tentatively detected in protostellar envelopes, but its reliability as a solid-state sulfur reservoir remains unclear. We present new measureme…

The Flying Saucer edge-on disc's Near Infrared silhouette revealed by the JWST JEDIce program

Emmanuel Dartois, Jennifer A. Noble, Jennifer B. Bergner +17

Edge-on discs offer a unique opportunity to probe radial and vertical dust and gas distributions in the protoplanetary phase. This study aims to investigate the distribution of mic…

Oxygen Isotope Constraints on the Importance of Photochemical Processing in Protoplanetary Disks

Fred J. Ciesla, Eric Van Clepper, Jennifer Bergner +1

Observations have revealed evidence of photochemical processing in protoplanetary disks. This processing occurs in the photon dominated layer, the optically thin regions of the dis…
