JWST Observations of Starbursts: The motion of dust - PAH kinematics of M82 and NGC 253 with JWST/MIRI spectroscopy
Fergus R. Donnan, Karin Sandstrom, Alberto D. Bolatto +27
We present an analysis of dust kinematics in the local starburst galaxies M82 (NGC 3034) and NGC 253 using Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) features observed with JWST/MIRI sp…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: A Young Bubble in NGC 253's Central Starburst
Kaitlyn E. Sheriff, Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Xinyu Mai +31
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of a young bubble in the nuclear starburst of NGC 253 using new JWST MIRI-MRS observations together with archival ALMA (100, 350, 690 GHz) an…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Molecular Hydrogen Excitation and Disequilibrium in M82
Sara E. Duval, J. D. T. Smith, Alberto D. Bolatto +24
Emission from the pure rotational transitions of H traces warm molecular gas, providing insight into its temperature distribution and local heating conditions. We have extended…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Dust Processing in the M82 Superwind
Serena A. Cronin, Alberto D. Bolatto, Helena M. Richie +39
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…
3D CMZ V: A new orbital model of our Galaxy's Center, informed by data across the electromagnetic spectrum
Dani R. Lipman, Cara Battersby, Daniel Walker +9
The 3D structure of The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) informs our understanding of star formation cycles, black hole accretion, and the evolution of galactic nuclei. How…
First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST
J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11
CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…
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…
The Galactic-Centre Arms inferred from ACES (ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey)
Y. Sofue, Tomo. Oka, S. N. Longmore +44
Analyzing longitude-velocity diagrams (LVDs) in the CS(J=2-1) and H13CN(J=1-0) molecular lines from the internal release data of the ALMA Central-Molecular-Zone Exploration Survey…
3-D CMZ IV: Distinguishing Near vs. Far Distances in the Galactic Center Using Spitzer and Herschel
Dani Lipman, Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker +15
A comprehensive 3-D model of the central 300 pc of the Milky Way, the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is of fundamental importance in understanding energy cycles in galactic nuclei, s…
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…
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…
Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351
Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38
We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
[CII] Spectral Mapping of the Galactic Wind and Starbursting Disk of M82 with SOFIA
Rebecca C. Levy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Elizabeth Tarantino +10
M82 is an archetypal starburst galaxy in the local Universe. The central burst of star formation, thought to be triggered by M82's interaction with other members in the M81 group,…
JWST reveals widespread CO ice and gas absorption in the Galactic Center cloud G0.253+0.016
Adam Ginsburg, Ashley T. Barnes, Cara D. Battersby +7
We report JWST NIRCam observations of G0.253+0.016, the molecular cloud in the Central Molecular Zone known as The Brick, with the F182M, F187N, F212N, F410M, F405N, and F466N filt…
