TEMPLATES: Direct Abundance Constraints for Two Lensed Lyman-Break Galaxies

Brian Welch, Grace M. Olivier, Taylor A. Hutchison +19

Using integrated spectra for two gravitationally lensed galaxies from the JWST TEMPLATES Early Release Science program, we analyze faint auroral lines, which provide direct measure…

Radio Jet Feedback on the Inner Disk of Virgo Spiral Galaxy Messier 58

Patrick M. Ogle, Ivan E. Lopez, Victoria Reynaldi +10

Spitzer spectral maps reveal a disk of highly luminous, warm (>150 K) H2 in the center of the massive spiral galaxy Messier 58, which hosts a radio-loud AGN. The inner 2.6 kpc of t…

JWST's TEMPLATES for Star Formation: The First Resolved Gas-Phase Metallicity Maps of Dust-Obscured Star-Forming Galaxies at 4

Jack E. Birkin, Taylor A. Hutchison, Brian Welch +23

We present the first spatially resolved maps of gas-phase metallicity for two dust-obscured star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at 4, from the JWST TEMPLATES Early Release Scienc…

Infrared molecular hydrogen lines in GRB host galaxies

K. Wiersema, A. Togi, D. Watson +12

Molecular species, most frequently H_2, are present in a small, but growing, number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra at redshifts z~2-3, detected through their rest-frame…

Lighting the dark molecular gas: H as a direct tracer

Aditya Togi, J. D. T. Smith

Robust knowledge of molecular gas mass is critical for understanding star formation in galaxies. The H molecule does not emit efficiently in the cold interstellar medium, hen…

A far-IR view of the starburst driven superwind in NGC 2146

K. Kreckel, L. Armus, B. Groves +19

NGC 2146, a nearby luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG), presents evidence for outflows along the disk minor axis in all gas phases (ionized, neutral atomic and molecular). We present a…

Spitzer IRS Spectral Mapping of the Toomre Sequence: Spatial Variations of PAH, Gas, and Dust Properties in Nearby Major Mergers

S. Haan, L. Armus, S. Laine +13

We have mapped the key mid-IR diagnostics in eight major merger systems of the Toomre Sequence (NGC4676, NGC7592, NGC6621, NGC2623, NGC6240, NGC520, NGC3921, and NGC7252) using the…

The Spitzer Spectroscopic Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (S4MC): Probing the Physical State of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Low-Metallicity Environment

Karin M. Sandstrom, Alberto D. Bolatto, Caroline Bot +12

We present results of mid-infrared spectroscopic mapping observations of six star-forming regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud from the Spitzer Spectroscopic Survey of the SMC (S4…

The Energetics of Molecular Gas in NGC 891 from H2 and FIR Spectroscopy

G. J. Stacey, V. Charmandaris, F. Boulanger +5

We have studied the molecular hydrogen energetics of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC\,891, using a 34-position map in the lowest three pure rotational H lines observed with the S…

Measuring Dust Production in the Small Magellanic Cloud Core-Collapse Supernova Remnant 1E 0102.2-7219

Karin M. Sandstrom, Alberto D. Bolatto, Snezana Stanimirovic +2

We present mid-infrared spectral mapping observations of the core-collapse supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud using the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) on t…
