MICONIC: The spatial relationship between star formation and the AGN in Centaurus A revealed by JWST/MIRI

O. C. Jones, M. L. Jones, D. Dicken +21

Centaurus A (Cen A), the nearest active radio galaxy, hosts a warped dust disc formed in a gas-rich merger. We present JWST/MIRI imaging in three filters, F560W, F770W, and F1130W,…

PAHSPECS: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon properties at cosmic noon with JWST/MIRI MRS

Cristina Maria Lofaro, Tanio Díaz Santos, Irene Shivaei +13

Context. Cosmic noon (z ~ 1-3) marks the peak of the cosmic star-formation rate density, when dust-obscured star formation dominated galaxy growth. Mid-infrared spectroscopy probes…

MICONIC: The multiphase circumnuclear region of Centaurus A as seen with JWST/MIRI MRS observations. I. Spectral inventory and properties of the warm molecular disk

L. Evangelista, P. Guillard, J. Martin +21

Supermassive black holes power Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), injecting energy that regulates accretion and shapes host galaxies. We investigate the morphology, excitation, and kine…

Spatially resolved metallicity and ionization in the merging system Gz9p3 at z=9.3

Arjan Bik, Javier Álvarez-Márquez, Alejandro Crespo Gómez +26

Studying the interstellar medium (ISM) in merging high-redshift galaxies is crucial for understanding early galaxy assembly, star formation, and black hole growth, predicted by hie…

JOYS: A JWST/MIRI survey of the evolution of H winds and jets from low-mass protostars

L. Francis, Ł. Tychoniec, E. F. van Dishoeck +20

Protostellar outflows display wide-angle winds and collimated jets, the magnetocentrifugal launching of which enables accretion onto the protostar. The majority of the outflow mass…

MIDIS: Strong H+[OIII] Line Emitters at

Thomas R. Greve, Steven Gillman, Pierluigi Rinaldi +24

We present a search for strong H+[O III] emitters at in the HUDF using ultra-deep JWST/MIRI F560W imaging from the MIDIS survey. Three galaxies are identified via…
