The Birth and Early Feedback of Massive Star Clusters Across the Local Universe

Jiayi Sun, Rebecca C. Levy, Cecilia Bacchini +11

Young massive star clusters (YMCs; ) represent a distinct, extreme mode of star formation and the closest present-day analogues of the environments in wh…

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…
