A high resolution study of near-IR diffuse interstellar bands, search for small scale structure, time variability and stellar features

J. V. Smoker, A. Müller, A. Monreal Ibero +13

Diffuse interstellar bands comprise hundreds of absorption features in the ISM. Most DIBs are observed in the optical, but some are in the IR. We observed 76 early-type stars at R=…

Spatial and dynamical structure of the NGC 2264 star-forming region

E. Flaccomio, G. Micela, G. Peres +7

The processes that lead from molecular clouds to protostars, stellar associations, and the evolution of both, are active research topics. The target of this study, NGC2264, is a be…

The mid-infrared molecular inventory towards Orion IRc2

Sarah Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Sean W. J. Colgan +8

We present the first high spectral resolution mid-infrared survey in the Orion BN/KL region, covering 7.2 to 28.3 micron. With SOFIA/EXES we target the enigmatic source Orion IRc2.…

Infrared Spectroscopic Survey of the Quiescent Medium of Nearby Clouds: II. Ice Formation and Grain Growth in Perseus and Serpens

M. C. L. Madden, A. C. A. Boogert, J. E. Chiar +4

The properties of dust change during the transition from diffuse to dense clouds as a result of ice formation and dust coagulation, but much is still unclear about this transformat…

Mid-infrared imaging of Supernova 1987A

Mikako Matsuura, Roger Wesson, Richard G. Arendt +9

At a distance of 50 kpc, Supernova 1987A is an ideal target to study how a young supernova (SN) evolves in time. Its equatorial ring, filled with material expelled from the progeni…

A non-interacting Galactic black hole candidate in a binary system with a main-sequence star

Sukanya Chakrabarti, Joshua D. Simon, Peter A. Craig +10

We describe the discovery of a solar neighborhood (d=468 pc) binary system with a main-sequence sunlike star and a massive non-interacting black hole candidate. The spectral energy…

SOFIA/HAWC+ observations of the Crab Nebula: dust properties from polarised emission

Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Brandon S. Hensley +14

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are well-recognised dust producers, but their net dust production rate remains elusive due to uncertainties in grain properties that propagate into observ…

Detection of Cosmic Fullerenes in the Almahata Sitta Meteorite: Are They an Interstellar Heritage?

Hassan Sabbah, Mickaël Carlos, Peter Jenniskens +4

Buckminsterfullerene, C60 , is the largest molecule observed to date in interstellar and circumstellar environments. The mechanism of formation of this molecule is actively debated…

Collimation of the kiloparsec-scale radio jets in NGC 2663

Velibor Velović, M. D. Filipović, L. Barnes +25

We present the discovery of highly-collimated radio jets spanning a total of 355 kpc around the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 2663, and the possible first detection of recollimation…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon emission model in photodissociation regions I: Application to the 3.3, 6.2, and 11.2 m bands

Ameek Sidhu, A. G. G. M. Tielens, Els Peeters +1

We present a charge distribution based model that computes the infrared spectrum of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules using recent measurements or quantum chemical ca…

The EDIBLES survey V: Line profile variations in the 5797, 6379, and 6614 diffuse interstellar bands as a tool to constrain carrier sizes

Heather MacIsaac, Jan Cami, Nick L. J. Cox +13

Several diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have profiles with resolved sub-peaks that resemble rotational bands of large molecules. Analysis of these profiles can constrain the size…

Anomalous Flux in the Cosmic Optical Background Detected With New Horizons Observations

Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, John R. Spencer +27

We used New Horizons LORRI images to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within a high galactic-latitude field selected to have reduced diffu…

A Search for Technosignatures toward the Galactic Centre at 150 MHz

Chenoa D. Tremblay, Danny C. Price, Steven J. Tingay

This paper is the fourth in a series of low-frequency searches for technosignatures. Using the Murchison Widefield Array over two nights we integrate 7 hours of data toward the Gal…

Probing multiphase gas in local massive elliptical galaxies via multiwavelength observations

P. Temi, M. Gaspari, F. Brighenti +6

We investigate the cold and warm gas content, kinematics, and spatial distribution of six local massive elliptical galaxies to probe the origin of the multiphase gas in their atmos…

A Principal Component Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission in NGC 7023

Ameek Sidhu, Josh Bazely, Els Peeters +1

We carried out a principal component analysis (PCA) of the fluxes of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bands at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.0, and 11.2 m in the reflection nebula…

PDRs4All: A JWST Early Release Science Program on radiative feedback from massive stars

Olivier Berné, Émilie Habart, Els Peeters +134

Massive stars disrupt their natal molecular cloud material through radiative and mechanical feedback processes. These processes have profound effects on the evolution of interstell…
