The EDGE-CALIFA Survey: Star Formation Efficiency and Galaxy Quenching across 62 Main Sequence, Green Valley, and Red Galaxies
Yu-Hsuan Teng, Alberto D. Bolatto, Peter J. Teuben +26
We present GBT-EDGE, a new CO(1-0) survey using the Green Bank Telescope to map 62 nearby (10-140 Mpc) galaxies spanning the star-forming main sequence (SFMS), green valley, and re…
Survival of very small carbonaceous dust grains in the inner-CGM of NGC 891 from JWST/MIRI MRS
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Karl D. Gordon +26
We present new spectroscopic observations of the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM) of NGC 891 taken with the Mid-Infrared Imager/Medium Resolution Spectroscopy instrument onboard J…
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: 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…
Molecular gas and star formation in central rings across nearby galaxies
Damian R. Gleis, Sophia K. Stuber, Eva Schinnerer +20
Nearby galaxies exhibit a variety of structures, including central rings, similar to the MW Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). These rings are common in barred galaxies and can be gas-r…
Cool dark gas in Cygnus X: The first large-scale mapping of low-frequency carbon recombination lines
Kimberly L. Emig, Pedro Salas, Loren D. Anderson +14
Understanding the transition from atomic gas to molecular gas is critical to explain the formation and evolution of molecular clouds. However, the gas phases involved, cold HI and…
