We present JWST MIRI and NIRCam imaging of the inner ~5 kpc of the M82 superwind at 0.05-0.375'' (~0.9-6.5 pc) resolution. Targeted filters probe emission from polycyclic aromatic…
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…

We explore the physical origins of the observed deficit of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at sub-solar metallicity using JWST/NIRCam imaging of the nearby galaxy M101, cov…
Quantification of The Age Dependence of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
Daniela Calzetti, Robert C. Kennicutt, Angela Adamo +33
We combine James Webb Space Telescope images of the nearby galaxy NGC 5194 in the hydrogen recombination line Pa-alpha (lambda=1.8756 micron) from the Cycle 1 program JWST-FEAST wi…
Detection of Deuterated Hydrocarbon Nanoparticles in the Whirlpool Galaxy, M51
B. T. Draine, Karin Sandstrom, Daniel A. Dale +29
Deuteration of hydrocarbon material, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has been proposed to account for the low gas-phase abundances of D in the interstellar mediu…
An Investigation of Disk Thickness in M51 from H-alpha, Pa-alpha, and Mid-Infrared Power Spectra
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Daniela Calzetti, Angela Adamo +27
Power spectra (PS) of high-resolution images of M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope have been examined for evidence of disk thic…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. VIII. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of WLM

We measure radial stellar age gradients in the relatively isolated gas-rich dwarf irregular WLM, combining JWST NIRCam and NIRISS imaging with six archival Hubble fields over semi-…
Scylla II. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of the Large Magellanic Cloud Reveals an Inverted Radial Age Gradient
Roger E. Cohen, Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Claire E. Murray +11
The proximity of the Magellanic Clouds provides the opportunity to study interacting dwarf galaxies near a massive host, and spatial trends in their stellar population properties i…

Claire E. Murray, Christina W. Lindberg, Petia Yanchulova Merica-Jones +17
Scylla is a deep Hubble Space Telescope survey of the stellar populations, interstellar medium and star formation in the LMC and SMC. As a pure-parallel complement to the Ultraviol…
The Ancient Star Formation History of the Extremely Low-Mass Galaxy Leo P: An Emerging Trend of a Post-Reionization Pause in Star Formation
Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Max J. B. Newman, Evan D. Skillman +12
Isolated, low-mass galaxies provide the opportunity to assess the impact of reionization on their star formation histories (SFHs) without the ambiguity of environmental processes a…
