DFT-computed energy profile for the most probable formation routes of GCA via radiative association. The energies include zero-point vibrational energy (ZPE), with the zero of energy set for GCA, shown

This final prospectivity map synthesizes eight evidence layers: ISRs, maximum temperature, PSRs, slope, curvature, aspect, distance to PSRs, and density of PSRs. The color gradient signifies prospectivity levels, with cool

Model of the observed distribution of CO2 based on our results shown in Figure 4. The resolution and the subobserver point are aligned with the JWST’s observation (2.7°N, 93°W; S.

This image shows the 15 brightest protoplanetary disks in Ophiuchus (observed by the ODISEA project and DSHARP), in which one can observe the presence of rings and grooves of different
