Investigating the Drivers of Electron Temperature Variations in HII Regions with Keck-KCWI and VLT-MUSE

Ryan J. Rickards Vaught, Karin M. Sandstrom, Francesco Belfiore +12

HII region electron temperatures are a critical ingredient in metallicity determinations and recent observations reveal systematic variations in the temperatures measured using dif…

The impact of HII regions on Giant Molecular Cloud properties in nearby galaxies sampled by PHANGS ALMA and MUSE

Antoine Zakardjian, Jérôme Pety, Cinthya N. Herrera +36

We identify giant molecular clouds (GMCs) associated with HII regions for a sample of 19 nearby galaxies using catalogs of GMCs and H regions released by the PHANGS-ALMA and PHANGS…

Stellar associations powering HII regions $\unicode{x2013}$ I. Defining an evolutionary sequence

Fabian Scheuermann, Kathryn Kreckel, Ashley T. Barnes +30

Connecting the gas in HII regions to the underlying source of the ionizing radiation can help us constrain the physical processes of stellar feedback and how HII regions evolve ove…

Star Formation Laws and Efficiencies across 80 Nearby Galaxies

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eve C. Ostriker +37

We measure empirical relationships between the local star formation rate (SFR) and properties of the star-forming molecular gas on 1.5 kpc scales across 80 nearby galaxies. These r…

PHANGS-MUSE: Detection and Bayesian classification of ~40000 ionised nebulae in nearby spiral galaxies

Enrico Congiu, Guillermo A. Blanc, Francesco Belfiore +15

In this work, we present a new catalogue of >40000 ionised nebulae distributed across the 19 galaxies observed by the PHANGS-MUSE survey. The nebulae have been classified using a n…

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Mid-infrared emission traces both gas column density and heating at 100 pc scales

Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom, Erik Rosolowsky +48

We compare mid-infrared (mid-IR), extinction-corrected H, and CO (2-1) emission at 70--160 pc resolution in the first four PHANGS-JWST targets. We report correlation strengths,…
