First pixel-by-pixel JWST absorption maps of multiple ice species toward six Class 0 protostars reveal abundance variations from heating and outflows, with total composition matching prestellar formation models covering ~90% of inventory.
New VLA multi-line NH3 observations of IRAS 16293-2422 reveal hot gas at 200-300 K near the protostars, attributed to shock and accretion heating.
Radiative transfer modeling of protostellar ices shows absorption originates mainly from 1000-2000 au at the cavity-envelope transition, with apparent CO2/H2O and CO/H2O ratios potentially underestimated due to line-of-sight effects.
No change detected in ice absorption bands of EC 53 between phases, with ice abundances higher than typical for embedded protostars.
New infrared spectra show reduced water ice and unusually strong aliphatic hydrocarbon absorption towards W44, attributed to shock and cosmic-ray processing in the associated molecular cloud.
The paper assesses the feasibility of using SKA-AA4 for thermal detections and characterization of TNOs and Centaurs at cm wavelengths.
SKAO, especially SKA-Mid Band 5, is expected to overcome dust opacity and frequency limits to detect complex prebiotic molecules in high-mass and solar-type protostellar regions.
