JWST Observations of Starbursts: The motion of dust - PAH kinematics of M82 and NGC 253 with JWST/MIRI spectroscopy

Fergus R. Donnan, Karin Sandstrom, Alberto D. Bolatto +27

We present an analysis of dust kinematics in the local starburst galaxies M82 (NGC 3034) and NGC 253 using Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) features observed with JWST/MIRI sp…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: A Young Bubble in NGC 253's Central Starburst

Kaitlyn E. Sheriff, Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Xinyu Mai +31

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of a young bubble in the nuclear starburst of NGC 253 using new JWST MIRI-MRS observations together with archival ALMA (100, 350, 690 GHz) an…

Illuminating M82: Simulating X-ray Emission from Galactic Winds in a Starburst Galaxy

Allison Lin, Lachlan Lancaster, Viraj Pandya +6

We generate mock X-ray observations from a suite of idealized high-resolution ( pc), tall-box ( kpc) simulations of star formation driven gala…

Constraining the Sub-Galactic Relationship Between Star Formation and the Hot Interstellar Medium in NGC 4254

Erik B. Monson, Bret D. Lehmer, Amirnezam Amiri +17

We investigate the relationship between star formation and X-ray emission from the hot interstellar medium (ISM) on kpc scales in NGC 4254 (M99) by combining spatially resolv…

Taming the Tarantula: How Stellar Wind Feedback Shapes Gas and Dust in 30 Doradus

Jennifer A. Rodriguez, Laura A. Lopez, Lachlan Lancaster +5

Observations of massive star-forming regions show that classical stellar wind models over-predict the luminosity of the X-ray emitting gas, indicating a significant fraction of win…

The Spatially Resolved Hot Gas Properties of NGC 1266's AGN-Driven Outflow

Sebastian Lopez, Laura A. Lopez, Lauranne Lanz +2

Galactic winds play a critical role in galaxy evolution, yet their structure and driving mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially in low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN) systems. NGC~…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: PAHs Closely Trace the Cool Phase of M82's Galactic Wind

Sebastian Lopez, Colton Ring, Adam K. Leroy +30

Stellar feedback drives multiphase gas outflows from starburst galaxies, but the interpretation of dust emission in these winds remains uncertain. To investigate this, we analyze n…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: Relations between PAH features and CO clouds in the starburst galaxy M 82

V. Villanueva, A. D. Bolatto, R. Herrera-Camus +22

We present a study of new 7.7-11.3 m data obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope Mid-InfraRed Instrument in the starburst galaxy M 82. In particular, we focus on the depen…

Observational Constraints on Cool Gas Clouds in M82's Starburst-Driven Outflow

Sebastian Lopez, Laura A. Lopez, Todd A. Thompson +2

Star formation feedback can drive large-scale, multi-phase galactic outflows. The dynamical and thermodynamical interaction between the hot and cooler phases is a prime focus of bo…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: Cold Clouds and Plumes Launching in the M82 Outflow

Deanne B. Fisher, Alberto D. Bolatto, John Chisholm +28

In this paper we study the filamentary substructure of 3.3 m PAH emission from JWST/NIRCam observations in the base of the M82 star-burst driven wind. We identify plume-like sub…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission at the Base of the M 82 Galactic Wind

Alberto D. Bolatto, Rebecca C. Levy, Elizabeth Tarantino +37

We present new observations of the central 1 kpc of the M 82 starburst obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared camera (NIRCam) instrument at a resolution…

Hot Gas Outflow Properties of the Starburst Galaxy NGC 4945

Natalia Porraz Barrera, Sebastian Lopez, Laura A. Lopez +5

We analyze 330 ks of {\it Chandra} X-ray imaging and spectra of the nearby, edge-on starburst and Seyfert Type 2 galaxy NGC 4945 to measure the hot gas properties along the galacti…

Neural ODEs as a discovery tool to characterize the structure of the hot galactic wind of M82

Dustin D. Nguyen, Yuan-Sen Ting, Todd A. Thompson +2

Dynamic astrophysical phenomena are predominantly described by differential equations, yet our understanding of these systems is constrained by our incomplete grasp of non-linear p…
