Constructing X-ray Spectral Models of Galaxies: Varying Contributions from X-ray Binary Populations with Host Galaxy Properties
Emerson Gehr, Bret D. Lehmer, Antara R. Basu-Zych +7
Recent work has shown that the emission from X-ray binary (XRB) populations in galaxies varies with stellar mass (), star formation rate (SFR), and metallicity (). Such…
Calibrating Mid-Infrared Emission Features As Diagnostics of Star Formation in Infrared-Luminous Galaxies via Radiative Transfer Modeling
L. Robinson, D. Farrah, A. Efstathiou +13
Luminous infrared galaxies are key sites of obscured stellar mass assembly at z > 0.5. Their star formation rates (SFRs) are often estimated using the luminosities of the 6.2 micro…
LMC+: Large-scale mapping of [CII] and [OIII] in the LMC molecular ridge, I. Dataset and line ratio analyses
C. Fischer, S. C. Madden, A. Krabbe +29
The fundamental process of star formation in galaxies involves the interplay between the fueling of star formation via molecular gas and the feedback from recently formed massive s…
The PRIMA promise of deciphering interstellar dust evolution with observations of the nearby Universe
Frédéric Galliano, Maarten Baes, Léo Belloir +25
This paper develops a few science cases, using the PRIMA far-IR probe, aimed at achieving several breakthroughs in our understanding of the dust properties and their evolution. We…
Emission Line Diagnostics for IMBHs in Dwarf Galaxies: Accounting for BH Seeding and ULX Excitation
Chris T. Richardson, Jordan Wels, Kristen Garofali +13
Dwarf AGN serve as the ideal systems for identifying intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) down to the most elusive regimes (). However, the ubiquitousl…
JWST/MIRI detection of [Ne V] and [Ne VI] in M83: Evidence for the long sought-after AGN?
Svea Hernandez, Linda J. Smith, Logan H. Jones +16
We report the first detections of [Ne V] 14.3 μm and [Ne VI] 7.7 μm at high confidence (S/N>=6) in the nuclear region of the nearby spiral galaxy M83. Emission line maps of these…
