Ardua: Unveiling the Baryon Cycle from Stars to the Cosmic Web
Carlos J. Vargas, Caroline Kilbourne, Haeun Chung +29
Ardua is a proposed NASA mission that combines wide‑field far‑ultraviolet spectroscopy with an X‑ray microcalorimeter to create the first emission maps of the circumgalactic medium…
Investigating HII Regions in the Disk of NGC 7331 with the Circumgalactic H Spectrograph
Nazende Ipek Kerkeser, Nicole Melso, David Schiminovich +3
We investigate the ionized gas kinematics of HII regions in the disk of NGC 7331 using integral field unit data collected with the Circumgalactic H Spectrograph (CHS). NGC…
Optical design and polarimetric performance of a SmallSat UV polarimeter to study interstellar dust: PUFFINS
Ramya M Anche, Hyukmo Kang, Kyle Van Gorkom +19
The Polarimetry in the Ultraviolet to Find Features in INterStellar dust (PUFFINS) is a SmallSat mission concept designed to obtain ultraviolet (UV) spectropolarimetric observation…
Searching for star formation towards the Eos molecular cloud
Suryansh Saxena, Thomas J. Haworth, Blakesley Burkhart +5
The Eos cloud, recently discovered in the far ultraviolet via H fluorescence, is one of the nearest known dark molecular clouds to the Sun, with a distance spanning from $\sim9…
A Nearby Dark Molecular Cloud in the Local Bubble Revealed via H Fluorescence
Blakesley Burkhart, Thavisha E. Dharmawardena, Shmuel Bialy +20
A longstanding prediction in interstellar theory posits that significant quantities of molecular gas, crucial for star formation, may be undetected due to being ``dark" in commonly…
The Molecular Cloud Lifecycle I: Constraining H2 formation and dissociation rates with observations
Shmuel Bialy, Blakesley Burkhart, Daniel Seifried +9
Molecular clouds (MCs) are the birthplaces of new stars in galaxies. A key component of MCs are photodissociation regions (PDRs), where far-ultraviolet radiation plays a crucial ro…
