Star Formation and Nebular Attenuation from Pa, Br, and Br in Massive Dust-obscured Galaxies at Cosmic Noon using JWST

Virginia Vanicek, Jed McKinney, Alexandra Pope +14

Near-infrared hydrogen recombination lines can provide robust star-formation rates if the effects of dust attenuation continue to diminish towards longer wavelengths. To quantify n…

A JWST MIRI LRS Survey of 37 Massive Star-Forming Galaxies and AGN at Cosmic Noon -- Overview and First Results

Jed McKinney, Miriam Eleazer, Alexandra Pope +17

We present a large spectroscopic survey with \textit{JWST}'s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS) targeting infrared-bright galaxies between $z=0.6…

Halfway to the Peak: ice absorption bands at with JWST MIRI/MRS

Anna Sajina, Alexandra Pope, Henrik Spoon +9

This paper presents the first combined detections of CO, CO, XCN and water ices beyond the local Universe. We find gas-phase CO in addition to the solid phase CO. Our source, S…

Halfway to the peak: Spatially resolved star formation and kinematics in a z=0.54 dusty galaxy with JWST/MIRI

Jason Young, Alexandra Pope, Anna Sajina +16

We present JWST/MIRI/MRS observations of an infrared luminous disk galaxy, FLS1, at z=0.54. With a lookback time of 5 Gyr, FLS1 is chronologically at the midpoint between the peak…

Galactic Outflow Emission Line Profiles: Evidence for Dusty, Radiatively-Driven Ionized Winds in Mrk 462

Sophia R. Flury, Edward C. Moran, Miriam Eleazer

Over the past half century, gas outflows and winds have been observed as asymmetric emission lines in a wide range of astrophysical contexts, including galaxies and early-type star…
