Recent ALMA observations suggest that the highest velocity part of molecular protostellar jets are launched from the dust-sublimation regions of the accretion disks (<0.3 au). However, formation and survival of molecules in inner protostellar disk winds, in the presence of a harsh FUV radiation field and the absence of dust, remain unexplored. We aim at determining if simple molecules can be synthesized and spared in fast and collimated dust-free disk winds or if a fraction of dust is necessary to explain the observed molecular abundances. This work is based on the Paris-Durham shock code designed to model irradiated environments. Fundamental properties of the dust-free chemistry are investigated from single point models. A laminar 1D disk wind model is then built using a parametric flow geometry. This model includes time-dependent chemistry and the attenuation of the radiation field by gas-phase photoprocesses. We show that a small fraction of H2 (< 1e-2), primarily formed through the H- route, can efficiently initiate molecule synthesis such as CO and SiO above TK ~ 800 K. The attenuation of the radiation field by atomic species (eg. C, Si, S) proceeds through continuum self-shielding. This process ensures efficient formation of CO, OH, SiO, H2O through neutral-neutral reactions, and the survival of these molecules. Class 0 dust-free winds with high mass-loss rates ($dot{M}_w >$ 2e-6 Msun/yr) are predicted to be rich in molecules if warm (TK > 800 K). The molecular content of disk winds is very sensitive to the presence of dust and a mass-fraction of surviving dust as small as 1e-5 significantly increases the H2O and SiO abundances. Chemistry of high-velocity jets is a powerful tool to probe their content in dust and uncover their launching point. Models of internal shocks are required to fully exploit the current (sub-)millimeter observations and prepare future JWST observations.

Infrared observations of active galactic nucleus (AGN) reveal emission from the putative dusty circumnuclear torus invoked by AGN unification, that is heated up by radiation from the central accreting black hole (BH). The strong 9.7 and 18 micron sil icate features observed in the AGN spectra both in emission and absorption, further indicate the presence of such dusty environments. We present detailed calculations of the chemistry of silicate dust formation in AGN accretion disk winds. The winds considered herein are magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) winds driven off the entire accretion disk domain that extends from the BH vicinity to the radius of BH influence, of order of 1 to 100 pc depending on the mass of the resident BH. Our results indicate that these winds provide conditions conducive to the formation of significant amounts of dust, especially for objects accreting close to their Eddington limit, making AGN a significant source of dust in the universe, especially for luminous quasars. Our models justify the importance of a r to the power -1 density law in the winds for efficient formation and survival of dust grains. The dust production rate scales linearly with the mass of the central BH and varies as a power law of index between 2 to 2.5 with the dimensionless mass accretion rate. The resultant distribution of the dense dusty gas resembles a toroidal shape, with high column density and optical depths along the equatorial viewing angles, in agreement with the AGN unification picture.

The mechanism of thermal driving for launching mass outflows is interconnected with classical thermal instability (TI). In a recent paper, we demonstrated that as a result of this interconnectedness, radial wind solutions of X-ray heated flows are pr one to becoming clumpy. In this paper, we first show that the Bernoulli function determines whether or not the entropy mode can grow due to TI in dynamical flows. Based on this finding, we identify a critical `unbound radius beyond which TI should accompany thermal driving. Our numerical disk wind simulations support this result and reveal that clumpiness is a consequence of buoyancy disrupting the stratified structure of steady state solutions. Namely, instead of a smooth transition layer separating the highly ionized disk wind from the cold phase atmosphere below, hot bubbles formed from TI rise up and fragment the atmosphere. These bubbles first appear within large scale vortices that form below the transition layer, and they result in the episodic production of distinctive cold phase structures referred to as irradiated atmospheric fragments (IAFs). Upon interacting with the wind, IAFs advect outward and develop extended crests. The subsequent disintegration of the IAFs takes place within a turbulent wake that reaches high elevations above the disk. We show that this dynamics has the following observational implications: dips in the absorption measure distribution are no longer expected within TI zones and there can be a less sudden desaturation of X-ray absorption lines such as OVIII as well as multiple absorption troughs in FeXXVK.
We present infrared (IR) photometry and spectroscopy of the Type II-P SN 2017eaw and its progenitor in the nearby galaxy NGC 6946. Progenitor observations in the Ks band in 4 epochs from 1 year to 1 day before the explosion reveal no significant vari ability in the progenitor star greater than 6% that last longer than 200 days. SN 2017eaw is a typical SN II-P with near-IR and mid-IR photometric evolution similar to those of SNe 2002hh and 2004et, other normal SNe II-P in the same galaxy. Spectroscopic monitoring between 389 and 480 days post explosion reveals strong CO first overtone emission at 389 d, with a line profile matching that of SN 1987A from the same epoch, indicating $sim 10^{-3} , M_{odot}$ of CO at 1,800 K. From the 389 d epoch until the most recent observation at 566 d, the first overtone feature fades while the 4.5 $mu$m excess, likely from the CO fundamental band, remains. This behavior indicates that the CO has not been destroyed, but that the gas has cooled enough that the levels responsible for first overtone emissions are no longer populated. Finally, the evolution of Spitzer 3.6 $mu$m photometry shows evidence for dust formation in SN 2017eaw, with a dust mass of $10^{-6}$ or $10^{-4},M_{odot}$ assuming carbonaceous or silicate grains respectively.
Molecular counterparts to atomic jets have been detected within 1000 AU of young stars. Reproducing them is a challenge for proposed ejection models. We explore whether molecules may survive in an MHD disk wind invoked to reproduce the kinematics and tentative rotation signatures of atomic jets in T Tauri stars. The coupled ionization, chemical and thermal evolution along dusty flow streamlines is computed for a prescribed MHD disk wind solution, using a method developed for magnetized shocks in the interstellar medium. Irradiation by wind-attenuated coronal X-rays and FUV photons from accretion hot spots is included, with self-shielding of H2 and CO. Disk accretion rates of 5e-6, 1e-6 and 1e-7 solar masses per year are considered, representative of low-mass young protostars (Class 0), evolved protostars (Class I) and very active T Tauri stars (Class II). The disk wind has an onion-like thermo-chemical structure, with streamlines launched from larger radii having lower temperature and ionisation, and higher H2 abundance. The coupling between charged and neutral fluids is sufficient to eject molecules from the disk out to 9 AU. The launch radius beyond which most H2 survives moves outward with evolutionary stage. CO survives in the Class 0 but is significantly photodissociated in the Class I/II. Balance between ambipolar heating and molecular cooling establishes an asymptotic temperature 700-3000 K, with cooler jets at earlier protostellar stages. Endothermic formation of H2O is efficient with abundances up to 1e-4, while CH+ and SH+ can exceed 1e-6 in the Class I/II winds. A centrifugal MHD disk wind launched from beyond 0.2-1 AU can produce molecular jets/winds up to speeds 100 km/s in young low-mass stars. The model predicts a high ratio H2/CO and an increase of molecular launch radius, temperature, and flow width as the source evolves, in agreement with current observed trends.
We discovered a new growth mode of dust grains to km-sized bodies in protoplanetary disks that evolve by viscous accretion and magnetically driven disk winds (MDWs). We solved an approximate coagulation equation of dust grains with time-evolving disk s that consist of both gas and solid components by a one-dimensional model. With the grain growth, all solid particles initially drift inward toward the central star by the gas drag force. However, the radial profile of gas pressure, $P$, is modified by the MDW that disperses the gas in an inside-out manner. Consequently, a local concentration of solid particles is created by the converging radial flux of drifting dust grains at the location with the convex upward profile of $P$. When the dimensionless stopping time, ${rm St}$, there exceeds unity, the solid particles spontaneously reach the growth dominated state because of the positive feedback between the suppressed radial drift and the enhanced accumulation of dust particles that drift from the outer part. Once the solid particles are in the drift limited state, the above-mentioned condition of ${rm St} gtrsim 1$ for the dust growth is equivalent with begin{equation} Sigma_{rm d}/Sigma_{rm g}gtrsim eta, onumber end{equation} where $Sigma_{rm d}/Sigma_{rm g}$ is the dust-to-gas surface-density ratio and $eta$ is dimensionless radial pressure-gradient force. As a consequence of the successful growth of dust grains, a ring-like structure containing planetesimal-sized bodies is formed at the inner part of the protoplanetary disks. Such a ring-shaped concentration of planetesimals is expected to play a vital role in the subsequent planet formation.
