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…
