Discovery of β Pic d, a 2-4 M_Jup planet at semi-major axis >30 au, via spectral template matching in JWST NIRSpec and MIRI data, confirmed by radial velocity and orbital stability.
GRAVITY+ observations yield a 12CO/13CO ratio of 91^{+24}_{-17} in β Pictoris b consistent with solar/ISM values and a tentative 1.4% atmospheric variability amplitude.
High-resolution M-band spectroscopy detects super-stellar SiO in TWA 5 B, implying no significant magnesium-silicate clouds and formation consistent with core accretion beyond the CO snowline or gravitational instability with solid enrichment.
A portable expression is derived to estimate water ice crystallinity from Fresnel peak strength in scattered-light spectra at ~90° angles, yielding 10-20% for the HD 181327 debris disk and ~50% for the d216-0939 protoplanetary disk.
Absorption spectroscopy of 130 young debris-disc hosts yields two new circumstellar-gas detections (TYC7879-1373-1 stable; HIP30414 variable/accreting), both pre-MS and <5 Myr, bringing the <10 Myr total to eight.
Updated DALI models reproduce observed C2H2 fluxes with solar C/O and find the C2H2/H2O flux ratio sensitive to elemental abundances and small-grain abundance in planet-forming disk regions.
