Spatial variations in aromatic hydrocarbon emission in a dust-rich galaxy

Justin S. Spilker, Kedar A. Phadke, Manuel Aravena +35

Dust grains absorb half of the radiation emitted by stars throughout the history of the universe, re-emitting this energy at infrared wavelengths. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons…

The Physical Drivers and Observational Tracers of CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor Variations in Nearby Barred Galaxy Centers

Yu-Hsuan Teng, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jiayi Sun +24

The CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_\rm{CO}$) is central to measuring the amount and properties of molecular gas. It is known to vary with environmental conditions, and previous…

GOALS-JWST: Tracing AGN Feedback on the Star-Forming ISM in NGC 7469

Thomas S. -Y. Lai, Lee Armus, Vivian U +34

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) integral-field spectroscopy of the nearby merging, luminous infrared galaxy, NGC 7469. This galaxy hosts…

Molecular Gas Properties and CO-to-H2 Conversion Factors in the Central Kiloparsec of NGC 3351

Yu-Hsuan Teng, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jiayi Sun +16

The CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_\rm{CO}$) is critical to studying molecular gas and star formation in galaxies. The value of $α_\rm{CO}$ has been found to vary within and bet…

Direct Far-Infrared Metal Abundances (FIRA) I: M101

C. Lamarche, J. D. Smith, K. Kreckel +12

Accurately determining gas-phase metal-abundances within galaxies is critical as metals strongly affect the physics of the interstellar medium (ISM). To date, the vast majority of…

Milky Way Mid-Infrared Spitzer Spectroscopic Extinction Curves: Continuum and Silicate Features

Karl D. Gordon, Karl A. Misselt, Jeroen Bouwman +7

We measured the mid-infrared (MIR) extinction using Spitzer photometry and spectroscopy (3.6--37 micron) for a sample of Milky Way sightlines (mostly) having measured ultraviolet e…
