Ice mantles play a crucial role in shaping the astrochemical inventory of molecules during
star and planet formation. Small-scale molecular processes have a profound impact on large …

Ices are the main carriers of volatiles in protoplanetary disks and are crucial to our
understanding of the protoplanetary disk chemistry that ultimately sets the organic …

Context. Ice-coated dust grains provide the main reservoir of volatiles that play an important
role in planet formation processes and may become incorporated into planetary …

Scattered light imaging of protoplanetary disks provides key insights on the geometry and
dust properties in the disk surface. Here, we present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) …

Context. Observations of edge-on disks are an important tool for constraining general
protoplanetary disk properties that cannot be determined in any other way. However, most …

Planet formation is strongly influenced by the composition and distribution of volatiles within
protoplanetary disks. With JWST, it is now possible to obtain direct observational constraints …

The Single Aperture Large Telescope for Universe Studies (SALTUS) is a far-infrared space
mission concept with unprecedented spatial and spectral resolution. SALTUS consists of a …

Context. Observations of highly inclined protoplanetary disks provide a different point of
view, in particular, they provide a more direct access to the vertical disk structure when …

We examine images of the protoplanetary disk 114–426 with JWST/NIRCam in 12 bands.
This large disk is oriented edge on with a dark midplane flanked by lobes of scattered light …

Earth is the only inhabited planet that we know of to date. Over 5000 exoplanets have been
discovered but whether any of them have life on them is unknown. Some exoplanets are …
