Coordinated Space- and Ground-based Monitoring of Accretion Bursts in a Protoplanetary Disk: Establishing Mid-infrared Hydrogen Lines as Accretion Diagnostics for JWST/MIRI

Coordinated Space- and Ground-based Monitoring of Accretion Bursts in a Protoplanetary Disk: Establishing Mid-infrared Hydrogen Lines as Accretion Diagnostics for JWST/MIRI

In this paper, we establish and calibrate mid-infrared (MIR) hydrogen recombination lines observed with the James Webb Space Telescope as accretion tracers for pre-main-sequence stars that accrete from circumstellar disks. This work is part of a coordinated, multi-observatory effort that monitored t...
