JWST resolves jet-driven H2 and ionized outflows in radio galaxy 3C305
B. Sebastian, P. M. Ogle, P. Guillard +17
We present JWST MIRI MRS, NIRSpec, NIRCam, and MIRI imaging observations of 3C 305, a radio galaxy with a compact jet that is confined within the galaxy. We use the H2 0-0 S(1)-S(7…
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…
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…
Probing AGN Feedback in Dwarf Galaxies with Spatially Resolved NIR Coronal Lines from JWST
Archana Aravindan, Thomas Bohn, Gabriela Canalizo +20
We present the first spatially resolved investigation of near-infrared coronal lines in dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN), using JWST/NIRSpec integral field spect…
Interstellar medium phases and abundances in the central parsec: A JWST MIRI/MRS view of the Galactic center
P. Vermot, A. Ciurlo, D. Rouan +8
We used newly obtained observations from the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) equipped with the Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to e…
Warm and cold molecular gas in the cluster center of MACS 1931-26 with JWST and ALMA
L. Ghodsi, L. Kuhn, A. W. S. Man +9
We perform one of the first spatially resolved studies of warm (100 K) and cold (10-100 K) molecular gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM), focusing on the brightest cluster ga…
