OH as a probe of the warm water cycle in planet-forming disks
Marion Zannese, Benoît Tabone, Emilie Habart +52
Water is a key ingredient for the emergence of life as we know it. Yet, its destruction and reformation in space remains unprobed in warm gas. Here, we detect the hydroxyl radical…
A Two-Component Probability Distribution Function Describes the mid-IR Emission from the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies
Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Todd A. Thompson +28
High-resolution JWST-MIRI images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal emission with complex substructures that trace dust heated both by massive young stars and the diffuse interstella…
Star Formation Efficiency in Nearby Galaxies Revealed with a New CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor Prescription
Yu-Hsuan Teng, I-Da Chiang, Karin M. Sandstrom +24
Determining how galactic environment, especially the high gas densities and complex dynamics in bar-fed galaxy centers, alters the star formation efficiency (SFE) of molecular gas…
PDRs4All III: JWST's NIR spectroscopic view of the Orion Bar
Els Peeters, Emilie Habart, Olivier Berne +135
(Abridged) We investigate the impact of radiative feedback from massive stars on their natal cloud and focus on the transition from the HII region to the atomic PDR (crossing the i…
PDRs4All IV. An embarrassment of riches: Aromatic infrared bands in the Orion Bar
Ryan Chown, Ameek Sidhu, Els Peeters +136
(Abridged) Mid-infrared observations of photodissociation regions (PDRs) are dominated by strong emission features called aromatic infrared bands (AIBs). The most prominent AIBs ar…
PDRs4All II: JWST's NIR and MIR imaging view of the Orion Nebula
Emilie Habart, Els Peeters, Olivier Berné +139
The JWST has captured the most detailed and sharpest infrared images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star formation region, and a prototypic…
VERTICO VI: Cold-gas asymmetries in Virgo cluster galaxies
Ian D. Roberts, Toby Brown, Nikki Zabel +20
We analyze cold-gas distributions in Virgo cluster galaxies using resolved CO(2-1) (tracing molecular hydrogen, H2) and HI observations from the Virgo Environment Traced In CO (VER…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Mid-infrared emission traces both gas column density and heating at 100 pc scales
Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom, Erik Rosolowsky +48
We compare mid-infrared (mid-IR), extinction-corrected H, and CO (2-1) emission at 70--160 pc resolution in the first four PHANGS-JWST targets. We report correlation strengths,…
