The diverse chemistry of protoplanetary disks as revealed by JWST

Kamp, I.; Henning, Th.; Nazari, P. +14 more

Early results from JWST-MIRI programs on low- and high-mass protostars and disks show significant diversity in their mid-infrared spectra, most notably for CO2, H2O and C2H2. Benzene is detected in disks around very low mass stars. Early results from the James Webb Space Telescope-Mid-InfraRed Instrument (JWST-MIRI) guaranteed time programs on pro…

The chemical inventory of the inner regions of planet-forming disks – the JWST/MINDS program

Henning, Thomas; Waters, L. B. F. M.; Güdel, Manuel +40 more

The Mid-InfraRed Instrument/Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MIRI/MRS) on board the James Webb Space Telescope reveals the rich and diverse chemistry in the planet forming regions around Sun-like and low-mass stars. The understanding of planet formation has changed recently, embracing the new idea of pebble accretion. This means that the influx of …
