JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?
William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19
We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…
Survival of very small carbonaceous dust grains in the inner-CGM of NGC 891 from JWST/MIRI MRS
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Karl D. Gordon +26
We present new spectroscopic observations of the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM) of NGC 891 taken with the Mid-Infrared Imager/Medium Resolution Spectroscopy instrument onboard J…
A wide-field, multi-line survey of CO in the Magellanic Clouds at parsec-scale resolution: characterising the molecular gas content with a 50-m single-dish submillimeter telescope
Francisca Kemper, Rosie Chen, Axel Weiss +8
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) are nearby dwarf galaxies whose proximity uniquely enables molecular cloud-scale resolution observations across the entire Magellan…
The PRIMA promise of deciphering interstellar dust evolution with observations of the nearby Universe
Frédéric Galliano, Maarten Baes, Léo Belloir +25
This paper develops a few science cases, using the PRIMA far-IR probe, aimed at achieving several breakthroughs in our understanding of the dust properties and their evolution. We…
Measuring Interstellar Carbon Abundance via 158 um [CII] Absorption with SOFIA -- A Potential Detection, and Proof-of-Concept for Depletion Studies with Future Far-IR Facilities
Christopher J. R. Clark, Julia. C. Roman-Duval, Suzanne C. Madden Marc Mertens +4
Carbon plays key roles in the InterStellar Medium (ISM) -- as a constituent of dust, as the carrier of the dominant far-infrared cooling line, and as a component of various importa…
