JWST/MIRI survey of 2-6 Myr Upper Scorpius disks finds diverse chemotypes, 10-1000x lower water luminosities, and evidence that outer dust traps control inner-disk chemistry.

Observations of the HK Tau binary with JWST reveal gas-phase molecular lines in the low-inclination primary and ice absorption features in the edge-on secondary, enabled by their differing inclinations.
Hydrodynamical simulations of giant impacts find lower post-impact CMB pressures due to thermal and rotational effects, common full mantle melting, and conditions favoring metal-silicate equilibration near the CMB.
Spectral decomposition of 26 T Tauri disks finds Mg-rich silicate dust with 5-24% crystallinity and correlations linking annealed silica to stronger CO2 emission and forsterite to stronger H2O emission.
Compact protoplanetary discs disperse inside-out when photoevaporation is limited to their cut-off radius, unlike the outside-in dispersal seen in extended discs.
Sustained mass transfer from a circumbinary disc enables giant planet formation in gamma-Cephei-like binaries by prolonging the lifetime of the circumprimary disc against truncation and photoevaporation.
N-body simulations show sub-virial fractal star clusters produce more captured asteroids and rogue objects than virialised Plummer clusters, while neither efficiently forms an Oort Cloud.
An upgraded planet population synthesis model incorporates post-disc dynamical evolution and atmospheric enrichment to generate synthetic exoplanet populations with improved fidelity to N-body results and observations.
