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: Measuring PAH Properties across the multiphase ISM
Jérémy Chastenet, Jessica Sutter, Karin Sandstrom +26
Ratios of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) vibrational bands are a promising tool for measuring the properties of the PAH population and their effect on star formation. The ph…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Stellar Feedback-Driven Excitation and Dissociation of Molecular Gas in the Starburst Ring of NGC 1365?
Daizhong Liu, Eva Schinnerer, Yixian Cao +36
We compare embedded young massive star clusters (YMCs) to (sub-)millimeter line observations tracing the excitation and dissociation of molecular gas in the starburst ring of NGC 1…
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: Multi-wavelength view of feedback-driven bubbles (The Phantom Voids) across NGC 628
Ashley T. Barnes, Elizabeth J. Watkins, Sharon E. Meidt +51
We present a high-resolution view of bubbles within The Phantom Galaxy (NGC 628); a nearby (~10Mpc), star-forming (~2Msun/yr), face-on (i~9deg) grand-design spiral galaxy. With new…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: A statistical view on bubble evolution in NGC628
Elizabeth J. Watkins, Ashley Barnes, Kiana F. Henny +49
The first JWST observations of nearby galaxies have unveiled a rich population of bubbles that trace the stellar feedback mechanisms responsible for their creation. Studying these…
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: The Influence of Stellar Clusters on PAHs in Nearby Galaxies
Daniel A. Dale, Médéric Boquien, Ashley T. Barnes +28
We present a comparison of theoretical predictions of dust continuum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission with new JWST observations in three nearby galaxies: NGC 628…
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…
