PHANGS-JWST: the largest extragalactic molecular cloud catalog traced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission
Z. Bazzi, D. Colombo, F. Bigiel +25
High-resolution JWST images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission structures that trace molecular gas, including CO-dark regions. We ident…

The Resolved Structure of a Low Metallicity Photodissociation Region
Ilyse Y. Clark, Karin Sandstrom, Mark Wolfire +14
Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) are key to understanding the feedback processes that shape interstellar matter in galaxies. One important type of PDR is the interface between HII…

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…
