PHANGS-JWST First Results: A Global and Moderately Resolved View of Mid-Infrared and CO Line Emission from Galaxies at the Start of the JWST Era
Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Karin Sandstrom +41
We explore the relationship between mid-infrared (mid-IR) and CO rotational line emission from massive star-forming galaxies, which is one of the tightest scalings in the local uni…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Tracing the Diffuse ISM with JWST Imaging of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Nearby Galaxies
Karin M. Sandstrom, Eric W. Koch, Adam K. Leroy +43
JWST observations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission provide some of the deepest and highest resolution views of the cold interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxie…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Rapid Evolution of Star Formation in the Central Molecular Gas Ring of NGC1365
Eva Schinnerer, Eric Emsellem, Jonathan D. Henshaw +36
Large-scale bars can fuel galaxy centers with molecular gas, often leading to the development of dense ring-like structures where intense star formation occurs, forming a very diff…
The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS
Janice C. Lee, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +74
The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference dataset for the multi-scale, multi-phase study of star formation and the interstellar medium in nearby galaxies. With the suc…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Duration of the early phase of massive star formation in NGC628
Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +33
The earliest stages of star formation, when young stars are still deeply embedded in their natal clouds, represent a critical phase in the matter cycle between gas clouds and young…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: The 21 m Compact Source Population
Hamid Hassani, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam K. Leroy +24
We use PHANGS-JWST data to identify and classify 1271 compact 21 m sources in four nearby galaxies using MIRI F2100W data. We identify sources using a dendrogram-based algorithm…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Spurring on Star Formation: JWST Reveals Localised Star Formation in a Spiral Arm Spur of NGC 628
Thomas G. Williams, Jiayi Sun, Ashley T. Barnes +34
We combine JWST observations with ALMA CO and VLT-MUSE H data to examine off-spiral arm star formation in the face-on, grand-design spiral galaxy NGC 628. We focus on the northe…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Dust embedded star clusters in NGC 7496 selected via 3.3 m PAH emission
Jimena Rodriguez, Janice Lee, Bradley Whitmore +38
The earliest stages of star formation occur enshrouded in dust and are not observable in the optical. Here we leverage the extraordinary new high-resolution infrared imaging from J…
Towards a multi-tracer timeline of star formation in the LMC -- II. The formation and destruction of molecular clouds
Jacob L. Ward, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mélanie Chevance +2
The time-scales associated with various stages of the star formation process represent major unknowns in our understanding of galactic evolution, as well as of star and planet form…
CORINOS I: JWST/MIRI Spectroscopy and Imaging of a Class 0 protostar IRAS 15398-3359
Yao-Lun Yang, Joel D. Green, Klaus M. Pontoppidan +13
The origin of complex organic molecules (COMs) in young Class 0 protostars has been one of the major questions in astrochemistry and star formation. While COMs are thought to form…
Environmental dependence of the molecular cloud lifecycle in 54 main sequence galaxies
Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +27
The processes of star formation and feedback, regulating the cycle of matter between gas and stars on the scales of giant molecular clouds (GMCs; 100pc), play a major role in…
