The Deepest Search for Rare Molecules and Isotopologues in Planet-forming Disks (1549)

PI: Pontoppidan. Deep spectra of two bright asteroids for the construction of very high signal-to-noise ratio spectral response curves (SRFs), combined with deep spectroscopy of line-rich disks to search for isotopologues and rare molecules.

The Infrared Water Spectrum as a Tracer of Pebble Delivery to Rocky Planets (1640)

PI: Banzatti. Water emission spectra of a luminosity-controlled sample of representative dust disk evolution types to measure pebble mass-fluxes delivered to inner disks.

A DSHARP-MIRI Treasury Survey of Chemistry in Planet-forming Regions (1584)

PIs: Salyk, Pontoppidan. MIRI-MRS spectra of the complete sample of protoplanetary disks from the ALMA-DSHARP survey, to invesigate the effects of pebbles and planets on inner disk chemistry.

The Chemistry of Planet Formation: A JWST-ALMA Survey of 4 Planet-Forming Disks (2025)

PI: Oberg. A combined JWST-ALMA 4-disk chemical data set, used to retrieve the radial column density profiles of the main carriers of volatile C and O, of probes of the C/N/O/S gas-phase elemental ratios, and of key organic molecules across all planet-forming radii.
