JWST observations at 4.4 μm reveal outflow cavities for VLA 1623 A and, for the first time, VLA 1623 B, as well as scattered light from the upper layers of the VLA 1623 W disk. We model the millimeter-centimeter spectral energy distributions to quantify the relative contributions of dust and ionized gas emission, calculate dust masses, and use spectral index maps to determine where optical depth hinders this analysis. In general, all objects appear to be optically thick down to ∼90 GHz, show evidence for significant amounts (tens to hundreds of M_⊕) of large (>1 mm) dust grains, and are dominated by ionized gas emission for frequencies ≲15 GHz. In addition, we find evidence of unsettled millimeter dust in the inclined disk of VLA 1623 B possibly attributed to instabilities within the circumstellar disk, adding to the growing catalog of unsettled Class 0/I disks. Our results represent some of the highest-resolution observations possible with current instrumentation, particularly in the case of the VLA. However, our interpretation is still limited at low frequencies (≲22 GHz) and thus motivates the need for next-generation interferometers operating at centimeter wavelengths. http://hdl.handle.net/2445/225004 Formació d'estels Astrofísica Galàxies Star formation Astrophysics Galaxies Characterizing the Multiple Protostellar System VLA 1623-2417 with JWST, ALMA, and VLA: Outflow Origins, Dust Growth, and an Unsettled Disk
