Empirical SED Templates for Star Clusters Observed with HST and JWST: No Strong PAH or IR Dust Emission after Five Myr

Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Janice C. Lee +25

JWST observations, when combined with HST data, promise to improve age estimates of star clusters in nearby spiral galaxies. However, feedback from young cluster stars pushes out t…

Reduction of dust radial drift by turbulence in protoplanetary disks

Fabiola Antonietta Gerosa, Jérémie Bec, Héloïse Méheut +1

Dust particles in protoplanetary disks, lacking support from pressure, rotate at velocities exceeding those of the surrounding gas. Consequently, they experience a head-wind from t…
