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…

The Young Ages of 70 μm-dark Clumps Inferred from Carbon Chain Chemistry

Kadin Worthen, Brian E. Svoboda, David S. Meier +4

The physical conditions of the earliest environment of high-mass star formation are currently poorly understood. To that end, we present observations of the carbon chain molecules…

Spatially-resolved spectro-photometric SED Modeling of NGC 253's Central Molecular Zone I. Studying the star formation in extragalactic giant molecular clouds

Pedro K. Humire, Subhrata Dey, Tommaso Ronconi +29

Studying the interstellar medium in nearby starbursts is essential for understanding the physical mechanisms driving these objects, thought to resemble young star-forming galaxies.…

Turbulent Pressure Heats Gas and Suppresses Star Formation in Galactic Bar Molecular Clouds

Andy Nilipour, Juergen Ott, David S. Meier +6

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way is fed by gas inflows from the Galactic disk along almost radial trajectories aligned with the major axis of the Galactic bar. How…

Neural Network Constraints on the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate and Other Physical Conditions in NGC 253 with ALCHEMI Measurements of HCN and HNC

Erica Behrens, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Serena Viti +15

We use a neural network model and ALMA observations of HCN and HNC to constrain the physical conditions, most notably the cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR, zeta), in the Central Mo…
