The Interstellar Medium in I Zw 18 seen with JWST/MIRI: II. Warm Molecular Hydrogen and Warm Dust
L. K. Hunt, B. T. Draine, M. G. Navarro +16
We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer of IZw18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of % Solar. Here, we investigate warm molecular hydr…
Quantification of The Age Dependence of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
Daniela Calzetti, Robert C. Kennicutt, Angela Adamo +33
We combine James Webb Space Telescope images of the nearby galaxy NGC 5194 in the hydrogen recombination line Pa-alpha (lambda=1.8756 micron) from the Cycle 1 program JWST-FEAST wi…
DDO68-C: HST confirms yet another companion of the isolated dwarf galaxy DDO 68
Matteo Correnti, Francesca Annibali, Michele Bellazzini +10
We present the results of deep Hubble Space Telescope photometry of the dwarf galaxy DDO 68-C, proposed as possibly associated with the isolated peculiar dwarf DDO 68. The new data…
JWST/MIRI detection of [Ne V] and [Ne VI] in M83: Evidence for the long sought-after AGN?
Svea Hernandez, Linda J. Smith, Logan H. Jones +16
We report the first detections of [Ne V] 14.3 μm and [Ne VI] 7.7 μm at high confidence (S/N>=6) in the nuclear region of the nearby spiral galaxy M83. Emission line maps of these h…
Exploring the mysterious high-ionization source powering [Ne V] in high-z analog SBS0335-052 E with JWST/MIRI
Matilde Mingozzi, Macarena Garcia Del Valle-Espinosa, Bethan L. James +19
Nearby blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) share similar properties with objects from the Epoch of Reionization revealed by JWST, in terms of low stellar mass, low metallicity and h…
