A Definitive Determination of the Interstellar Carbon Abundance toward rho Ophiuchi A and B
Adam M. Ritchey, S. R. Federman, Daniel E. Welty +1
We present the results of an effort to derive interstellar gas-phase C II abundances along the lines of sight toward rho Oph A and B. Our analysis is based on high-resolution NUV a…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions. IV. Carbonaceous emission band sub-components in NGC 7023 have distinct spatial distributions
D. Van De Putte, K. D. Gordon, K. Misselt +10
We analyze JWST spectroscopy of the northwest filament of NGC7023, where the relatively soft radiation field results in a photodissociation region with an extended atomic hydrogen…
JWST MIRI-MRS observations of the Red Rectangle: AIB class transformation in the outer nebula
A. Ebenbichler, P. Moraga Baez, A. Candian +8
Aims: We characterize the mid-infrared spectrum of the outer regions of the Red Rectangle nebula to probe the carbonaceous dust and molecular content beyond the circumbinary disk.…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions III. Dust modelling at the illuminated edge of the Horsehead PDR
M. Elyajouri, A. Abergel, N. Ysard +19
Carbonaceous nano-grains are a significant component of interstellar dust and dominate the mid-infrared emission of photodissociation regions (PDRs). We study the evolution of nano…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions: II. Warm molecular Hydrogen spectroscopy in the Horsehead nebula
M. Zannese, P. Guillard, A. Abergel +16
H2 is the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium and is a useful tool to study photodissociation regions, where radiative feedback from massive stars on molecular clouds…
Resolving Emission from Small Dust Grains in the Blue Compact Dwarf II Zw 40 with JWST
Thomas S. -Y. Lai, Sara Duval, J. D. T. Smith +15
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) and Mid-infrared Instrument (MIRI) integral-field spectroscopy of the nearby blue compact dwarf II…
