JWST observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 IV: PAH spectral characteristics, formation and evolution
Nicholas Clark, Els Peeters, Jan Cami +29
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in Oxygen-rich planetary nebulae (PNe), yet their formation and evolution in these environments is…
The JWST Proto-PAH project: Aromatic backbones with extensive aliphatic substitution account for both the aromatic and aliphatic emission
N. Clark, E. Peeters, J. Cami +18
We find that the aromatic and aliphatic emission bands in four carbon-rich post-asymptotic giant branch stars with class D emission arise from a single carrier population: extensiv…
The JWST Proto-PAH project. Computational modeling of the emission carriers
A. Ricca, G. C. Sloan, E. Peeters +8
The infrared spectra of many carbon-rich post-asymptotic giant branch stars are dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, but the chemical structure…
The JWST Proto-PAH Project: Detection of the methyl radical CH in the highly evolved C-rich object SMP LMC 011
Jialu Li, D. A. García-Hernández, A. Manchado +17
We report the first detection of the neutral methyl radical CH in a highly evolved C-rich object, SMP LMC 011, using JWST MIRI/MRS. CH is well fitted by an excitation tempe…
CO rotational line emission in very red carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds
M. A. T. Groenewegen, A. Nanni, M. L. Boyer +11
Stars of low and intermediate initial mass lose most of their stellar mass at the end of their lives during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. Determining their gas and dust…
Dust in the very metal-poor galaxy Sextans A with JWST. I: Characterizing the evolved stellar population of Sextans A based on JWST observations and stellar evolution models
C. Gavetti, F. Dell'Agli, E. Tarantino +22
The nearby star-forming dwarf galaxy Sextans A offers a unique window into galaxy evolution in the early Universe, owing to its extremely low metallicity (about 1-7% Zsun). Recent…
Mid-infrared JWST spectra of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. C. Sloan, B. Aringer, Kathleen E. Kraemer +11
Mid-infrared spectra from the Medium Resolution Spectrometer on the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed the molecular chemistry of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud w…
Ashes of Creation: JWST Uncovers Silicate Dust in Massive Star Clusters
Daniel Maschmann, Bradley C. Whitmore, David A. Thilker +35
Dust production is a fundamental aspect of the baryonic cycle of star formation. It is known that dust is injected into the interstellar medium during early star formation by super…
Detection of CH3+ in the O-rich planetary nebula NGC 6302
Charmi Bhatt, Jan Cami, Els Peeters +33
Planetary nebulae are sites where ejected stellar material evolves into complex molecules, but the precise physical conditions and chemical routes that govern these processes are u…
The JWST/MIRI view of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 I.: a UV irradiated torus and a hot bubble triggering PAH formation
Mikako Matsuura, Kevin Volk, Patrick Kavanagh +34
NGC 6302 is a spectacular bipolar planetary nebula (PN) whose spectrum exhibits fast outflows and highly ionized emission lines, indicating the presence of a very hot central star…
Discovery of SiC and Iron Dust Around AGB Stars in the very Metal-Poor Sextans A Dwarf Galaxy with JWST: Implications for Dust Production at High Redshift
M. L. Boyer, G. C. Sloan, A. Nanni +23
Low-resolution infrared spectroscopy from JWST confirms the presence of SiC and likely metallic iron dust around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Sextans A dwarf galaxy,…
The Dustiest Galactic S Stars: Mid-Infrared Spectra from SOFIA/FORCAST
Kathleen E. Kraemer, G. C. Sloan, Ramses M. Ramirez
We present spectra of 12 of the reddest, and hence dustiest, S stars in the Milky Way, observed with the FORCAST grisms on SOFIA. S stars are asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars wi…

The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides the observatory with a huge advance in mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy covering the w…
SMC-Last Extracted Photometry
T. A. Kuchar, G. C. Sloan, D. R. Mizuno +11
We present point-source photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope's final survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We mapped 30 square degrees in two epochs in 2017, with the…
JWST MIRI flight performance: Detector Effects and Data Reduction Algorithms
Jane Morrison, Daniel Dicken, Ioannis Argyriou +21
The detectors in the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are arsenic-21 doped silicon impurity band conduction (Si:As IBC) devices and are direc…
