Tracing the earliest stages of star and cluster formation in 19 nearby galaxies with PHANGS-JWST and HST: compact 3.3 m PAH emitters and their relation to the optical census of star clusters
M. Jimena Rodríguez, Janice C. Lee, Remy Indebetouw +25
The earliest stages of star and cluster formation are hidden within dense cocoons of gas and dust, limiting their detection at optical wavelengths. With the unprecedented infrared…
JWST MIRI and NIRCam observations of NGC 891 and its circumgalactic medium
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Monica Relaño +37
We present new JWST observations of the nearby, prototypical edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC 891. The northern half of the disk was observed with NIRCam in its F150W and F277W filters.…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Massive Star Clusters in the Central Starburst of M82
Rebecca C. Levy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Divakara Mayya +25
We present a near infrared (NIR) candidate star cluster catalog for the central kiloparsec of M82 based on new JWST NIRCam images. We identify star cluster candidates using the F25…
Disk Turbulence and Star Formation Regulation in High Main Sequence Analogue Galaxies
Laura Lenkić, Deanne B. Fisher, Alberto D. Bolatto +7
The gas-phase velocity dispersions in disk galaxies, which trace turbulence in the interstellar medium, are observed to increase with lookback time. However, the mechanisms that se…
Neutral atomic and molecular gas dynamics in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 1512, NGC 4535, and NGC 7496
Sebastian Laudage, Cosima Eibensteiner, Frank Bigiel +20
Neutral atomic gas (HI) effectively traces galactic dynamics across mid to large galactocentric radii. However, its limitations in observing small-scale changes within the central…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Cold Clouds and Plumes Launching in the M82 Outflow
Deanne B. Fisher, Alberto D. Bolatto, John Chisholm +28
In this paper we study the filamentary substructure of 3.3 m PAH emission from JWST/NIRCam observations in the base of the M82 star-burst driven wind. We identify plume-like sub…
PHANGS-HST catalogs for 100,000 star clusters and compact associations in 38 galaxies: I. Observed properties
Daniel Maschmann, Janice C. Lee, David A. Thilker +24
We present the largest catalog to-date of star clusters and compact associations in nearby galaxies. We have performed a V-band-selected census of clusters across the 38 spiral gal…
The EDGE-CALIFA Survey: An Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution Studies
Tony Wong, Yixian Cao, Yufeng Luo +22
The EDGE-CALIFA survey provides spatially resolved optical integral field unit (IFU) and CO spectroscopy for 125 galaxies selected from the CALIFA Data Release 3 sample. The Extrag…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission at the Base of the M 82 Galactic Wind
Alberto D. Bolatto, Rebecca C. Levy, Elizabeth Tarantino +37
We present new observations of the central 1 kpc of the M 82 starburst obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared camera (NIRCam) instrument at a resolution…
Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351
Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38
We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
