The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
X-ray Emission from the Taffy (VV254) Galaxies and Bridge
Philip Appleton, Lauranne Lanz, Theodoros Bitsakis +11
We present the first X-ray observations of the Taffy galaxies (UGC 12914/5) with the Chandra observatory, and detect soft X-ray emission in the region of the gas-rich, radio-contin…
Jet-Shocked H2 and CO in the Anomalous Arms of Molecular Hydrogen Emission Galaxy NGC 4258
Patrick M. Ogle, Lauranne Lanz, Philip N. Appleton
We present a Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) map of H2 emission from the nearby galaxy NGC 4258 (Messier 106). The H2 emission comes from 9.4E6 Msun of warm molecular hydrogen…
Turbulent molecular gas and star formation in the shocked intergalactic medium of Stephan's Quintet
Pierre Guillard, François Boulanger, Guillaume Pineau des Forêts +8
We report on single-dish radio CO observations towards the inter-galactic medium (IGM) of the Stephan's Quintet (SQ) group of galaxies. Extremely bright mid-IR H2 rotational line e…
Detection of Powerful Mid-IR H2 Emission in the Bridge between the Taffy Galaxies
B. W. Peterson, P. N. Appleton, G. Helou +6
We report the detection of strong, resolved emission from warm H2 in the Taffy galaxies and bridge. Relative to the continuum and faint PAH emission, the H2 emission is the stronge…
Observations and modeling of the dust emission from the H2-bright galaxy-wide shock in Stephan's Quintet
P. Guillard, F. Boulanger, M. E. Cluver +3
Spitzer Space Telescope observations revealed powerful mid-infrared (mid-IR) H2 rotational line emission from the Stephan's Quintet (SQ) X-ray emitting large scale shock associated…
