ReplicationBench: Can AI Agents Replicate Astrophysics Research Papers?
Christine Ye, Sihan Yuan, Suchetha Cooray +10
Frontier AI agents show increasing promise as scientific research assistants, and may eventually be useful for extended, open-ended research workflows. However, in order to use age…
Localized Deviations from the CO-PAH Relation in PHANGS-JWST Galaxies: Faint PAH Emission or Elevated CO Emissivity?
Jaeyeon Kim, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +25
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission is widely used to trace the distribution of molecular gas in the interstellar medium, exhibiting a tight correlation with CO(2-1) emi…
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons destruction in star-forming regions across 42 nearby galaxies
Oleg V. Egorov, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +30
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread in the interstellar medium (ISM) of Solar metallicity galaxies, where they play a critical role in ISM heating, cooling, and…
Empirical SED Templates for Star Clusters Observed with HST and JWST: No Strong PAH or IR Dust Emission after Five Myr
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Janice C. Lee +25
JWST observations, when combined with HST data, promise to improve age estimates of star clusters in nearby spiral galaxies. However, feedback from young cluster stars pushes out t…
Linking stellar populations to HII regions across nearby galaxies. II. Infrared Reprocessed and UV Direct Radiation Pressure in HII Regions
Debosmita Pathak, Adam Leroy, Todd Thompson +27
Radiation pressure is a key mechanism by which stellar feedback disrupts molecular clouds and drives HII region expansion. This includes direct radiation pressure exerted by UV pho…
PAH Feature Ratios Around Stellar Clusters and Associations in 19 Nearby Galaxies
Daniel A. Dale, Gabrielle B. Graham, Ashley T. Barnes +27
We present a comparison of observed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) feature ratios in 19 nearby galaxies with a grid of theoretical expectations for near- and mid-infrared du…
