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…

The messy death of a multiple star system and the resulting planetary nebula as observed by JWST

Orsola De Marco, Muhammad Akashi, Stavros Akras +66

Planetary nebulae (PNe), the ejected envelopes of red giant stars, provide us with a history of the last, mass-losing phases of 90 percent of stars initially more massive than the…

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…

The Mystery of Unidentified Infrared Emission Bands

Sun Kwok

A family of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands has been observed throughout the Universe. The current observed spectral properties of the UIE bands are summarized. These pr…

The spectra of evolved stars at 20--25\,GHz: tracing circumstellar chemistry during the asymptotic giant branch to planetary nebula transition

Yong Zhang, Wayne Chau, Jun-ichi Nakashima +1

We report an unbiased radio line survey towards the circumstellar envelopes of evolved stars at the frequency range from 20 to 25 GHz, aiming to obtain a more complete unbiased pic…
