JWST observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 IV: PAH spectral characteristics, formation and evolution
Nicholas Clark, Els Peeters, Jan Cami +29
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in Oxygen-rich planetary nebulae (PNe), yet their formation and evolution in these environments is…
The JWST Proto-PAH project: Aromatic backbones with extensive aliphatic substitution account for both the aromatic and aliphatic emission
N. Clark, E. Peeters, J. Cami +18
We find that the aromatic and aliphatic emission bands in four carbon-rich post-asymptotic giant branch stars with class D emission arise from a single carrier population: extensiv…
The JWST Proto-PAH Project: Detection of the methyl radical CH in the highly evolved C-rich object SMP LMC 011
Jialu Li, D. A. García-Hernández, A. Manchado +17
We report the first detection of the neutral methyl radical CH in a highly evolved C-rich object, SMP LMC 011, using JWST MIRI/MRS. CH is well fitted by an excitation tempe…
Detection of C Combination Bands in the Near-IR Spectrum of Tc 1
Morgan M. Giese, Vincent J. Esposito, Simon Van Schuylenbergh +26
We report the detection of a set of new near-infrared emission features between 3.5 and 5.2 m in JWST/NIRSpec observations of Tc 1, the planetary nebula known for displaying the…
Mid-infrared JWST spectra of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. C. Sloan, B. Aringer, Kathleen E. Kraemer +11
Mid-infrared spectra from the Medium Resolution Spectrometer on the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed the molecular chemistry of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud w…
Detection of CO ice in the planetary nebula NGC 6302
Charmi Bhatt, Simon W. Cao, Jan Cami +20
Using JWST/MIRI observations, we report the detection of CO ice in the dusty torus of the planetary nebula NGC 6302, an environment generally considered hostile to fragile mole…
An Improved Atlas of Full-Scan Spectra from ISO/SWS
D. R. Mizuno, T. A. Kuchar, Kathleen E. Kraemer +4
We present an atlas of full-scan spectra from the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) after reprocessing and improving an earlier versio…
Detection of CH3+ in the O-rich planetary nebula NGC 6302
Charmi Bhatt, Jan Cami, Els Peeters +33
Planetary nebulae are sites where ejected stellar material evolves into complex molecules, but the precise physical conditions and chemical routes that govern these processes are u…
The JWST/MIRI view of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 I.: a UV irradiated torus and a hot bubble triggering PAH formation
Mikako Matsuura, Kevin Volk, Patrick Kavanagh +34
NGC 6302 is a spectacular bipolar planetary nebula (PN) whose spectrum exhibits fast outflows and highly ionized emission lines, indicating the presence of a very hot central star…
The Discovery of 25 um Interstellar Methanol
Sarah L. Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Keeyoon Sung +15
We present the first astrophysical detection of methanol (CH3OH) in the torsional band near 25 um. Using high resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, we identified over seventy…
The Extended Atlas of Low-resolution Spectra from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite
G. C. Sloan, Kathleen E. Kraemer, K. Volk
We present an updated atlas of spectra from the Low-Resolution Spectrometer (LRS) on the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), which took spectra from 7.67 to 22.73 um with a spe…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) V: properties of volume-limited samples of Galactic evolved stars
I. McDonald, S. Srinivasan, P. Scicluna +23
We provide a meta-study of the statistical and individual properties of two volume-complete sets of evolved stars in the Solar Neighbourhood: (1) 852 stars from the Nearby Evolved…
Temporal Changes in the Infrared Spectra of Magellanic Carbon Stars
G. C. Sloan, K. E. Kraemer, B. Aringer +9
The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer on the Mid-Infrared Instrument on JWST obtained spectra of three carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Two of the spectra differ significan…
The infrared spectral properties of Magellanic carbon stars
G. C. Sloan, K. E. Kraemer, I. McDonald +12
The Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope observed 184 carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This sample reveals that the dust-production rate (DPR) from carbon sta…
SOFIA/FORCAST Observations of Warm Dust in S106: A Fragmented Environment
