Nowhere Left to Hide: Uncovering All of the Massive Young Embedded Star Clusters in the Antennae with JWST

Rupali Chandar, Miranda Caputo, Paul Goudfrooij +15

The Antennae galaxies merger produces the brightest infrared emission of any galaxy within ~20 Mpc, mostly from intense star formation taking place in supergiant molecular cloud co…

Clusters, Clumps, Dust, & Gas (CCDG) in NGC1614: Bench-marking Cluster Demographics in Extreme Systems

Miranda Caputo, Rupali Chandar, Angus Mok +3

Observations of young star clusters in a variety of galaxies have been used to constrain basic properties related to star-formation, such as the fraction of stars found in clusters…

The 3D Geometry of Reflection Nebulae IC 59 and IC 63 with their illuminating Star Gamma Cas

Jacob M. Eiermann, Miranda Caputo, Thomas S. -Y. Lai +1

The early-type star Cas illuminates the reflection nebulae IC 59 and IC 63, creating two photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). Uncertainties about the distances to the nebulae and…

Physics and Chemistry of Radiation Driven Cloud Evolution. [C II] Kinematics of IC 59 and IC 63

Miranda Caputo, Archana Soam, B-G Andersson +5

We used high-resolution [C II] 158 m mapping of two nebulae IC 59 and IC 63 from SOFIA/upGREAT in conjunction with ancillary data on the gas, dust, and polarization to probe the…

A Tale of 3 Dwarfs: No Extreme Cluster Formation in Extreme Star-Forming Galaxies

Rupali Chandar, Miranda Caputo, Angus Mok +8

Nearly all current simulations predict that outcomes of the star formation process, such as the fraction of stars that form in bound clusters (Gamma), depend on the intensity of st…

Arp 220: A Post-Starburst Galaxy With Little Star Formation Outside of It's Nuclear Disks

R. Chandar, M. Caputo, S. Linden +8

The ultra-luminous infrared galaxy Arp2 20 is a late-stage merger with several tidal structures in the outskirts and two very compact, dusty nuclei that show evidence for extreme s…

Interstellar extinction, polarization, and grain alignment in the Sh 2-185 (IC 59 and IC 63) region

Archana Soam, B-G Andersson, V. Straižys +6

Optical and infrared continuum polarization from the interstellar medium is driven by radiative processes aligning the grains with the magnetic field. While a quantitative, predict…
