A JWST MIRI MRS View of the η Tel Debris Disk and Its Brown Dwarf Companion

The Astrophysical Journal
We report JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of the β Pic moving-group member, η Tel A, along with its brown dwarf binary companion, η Tel B.

Exploring the Complex Ionization Environment of the Turbulent DM Tau Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
Ionization drives important chemical and dynamical processes within protoplanetary disks, including the formation of organics and water in the cold midplane and the transportation of material via accretion and magnetohydrodynamic flows.

The First JWST View of a 30-Myr-old Protoplanetary Disk Reveals a Late-stage Carbon-rich Phase

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum of the inner disk of WISE J044634.16–262756.1B (hereafter J0446B), an old (∼34 Myr) M4.5 star but with hints of ongoing accretion. The spectrum is molecule-rich and dominated by hydrocarbons.

Aligning Planet-hosting Binaries via Dissipative Precession in Circumstellar Disks

The Astrophysical Journal
Recent observations have demonstrated that some subsets of even moderately wide-separation planet-hosting binaries are preferentially configured such that planetary and binary orbits appear to lie within the same plane.

Stellar Rotation in the First 6 Myr: Rotational Velocities and Radii Estimates of T Tauri Stars in IC 5070 and IC 348

The Astrophysical Journal
We have acquired high-resolution optical spectroscopy for a sample of T Tauri stars (TTSs) in open clusters using Hydra on the WIYN 3.5 m telescope, and present projected rotational velocities ( v sin i values) for 54 stars in IC 5070 and 99 stars in IC ...

A Multiwavelength ALMA View of Gas and Dust in Binary Protoplanetary System AS 205: Evidence of Dust Asymmetric Distribution

The Astrophysical Journal
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of multiwavelength dust emissions at 3.1 and 1.3 mm, along with molecular line emissions of CO(2–1), CO(3–2), ^13 CO(3–2), and C ^18 O(3–2) at spatial resolutions of 7–45 au toward the ...

A Possible Indication of Metallic Iron in White Dwarf Dusty Disks from Their “Dirtiness”

The Astrophysical Journal
Polluted white dwarfs provide unique constraints on the elemental compositions of planetary bodies. The tidal disruption of accreting bodies is thought to form circumstellar dusty disks, whose emission spectra could offer additional insights into the ...

Grain Size in the Class I Protostellar System TMC-1A Constrained with ALMA and Very Large Array Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
The disk mass and substructure in young stellar objects suggest that planet formation may start at the protostellar stage, through the growth of dust grains.
