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…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: Massive Star Clusters in the Central Starburst of M82

Rebecca C. Levy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Divakara Mayya +25

We present a near infrared (NIR) candidate star cluster catalog for the central kiloparsec of M82 based on new JWST NIRCam images. We identify star cluster candidates using the F25…

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…

Physical Properties of the Southwest Outflow Streamer in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253 with ALCHEMI

Min Bao, Nanase Harada, Kotaro Kohno +19

The physical properties of galactic molecular outflows are important as they could constrain outflow formation mechanisms. We study the properties of the southwest (SW) outflow str…

The ALCHEMI atlas: principal component analysis reveals starburst evolution in NGC 253

Nanase Harada, David S. Meier, Sergio Martín +24

Molecular lines are powerful diagnostics of the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM). These ISM properties, which affect future star formation, are exp…

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…
