Abstract
The removal of angular momentum from protostellar systems drives accretion
onto the central star and may drive the dispersal of the protoplanetary disk.
Winds and jets can contribute to removing angular momentum from the disk,
though the dominant process remain unclear. To date, observational studies of
resolved disk winds have mostly targeted highly inclined disks. We report the
detection of extended H2 and [Ne II] emission toward the young stellar object
SY Cha with the JWST Mid-InfraRed Instrument Medium Resolution Spectrometer
(MIRI-MRS). This is one of the first polychromatic detections of extended H2
toward a moderately inclined, i=51.1 degrees, Class II source. We measure the
semi-opening angle of the H2 emission as well as build a rotation diagram to
determine the H2 excitation temperature and abundance. We find a wide
semi-opening angle, high temperature, and low column density for the H2
emission, all of which are characteristic of a disk wind. These observations
demonstrate MIRI-MRS's utility in expanding studies of resolved disk winds
beyond edge-on sources.
