Metal-poor molecular clouds in dwarf galaxies at parsec-scale resolution

L. K. Hunt, M. Heyer, U. Lisenfeld +17

Understanding how stars form at low metallicity is challenging because carbon monoxide (CO) emission, which usually probes the molecular gas reservoir, is faint, and tends to be co…

The HII Regions' Molecular Law of Star Formation

Daniela Calzetti, Drew Lapeer, Robert C. Kennicutt +28

We combine imaging data from the HST, JWST, and ground-based millimeter facilities to investigate the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) and molecular gas at the ~100 pc…

The First Empirical Calibration of the MIR Abundance Diagnostic Ne with JWST

Noah S. J. Rogers, Evan D. Skillman, Danielle A. Berg +10

Large surveys of galaxies in the local and high-redshift Universe have, traditionally, relied on the intensity of rest-optical emission lines from metal ions in the Interstellar Me…

FEAST: a NIRSpec/MOS survey of emerging young star clusters in NGC 628

Helena Faustino Vieira, Angela Adamo, Neville Shane +18

JWST can pierce through dusty molecular clouds to study the early stages of star formation, where young star clusters are actively driving stellar feedback and still emerging from…

JWST/MIRI-MRS view of the metal-poor galaxy CGCG 007-025: the spatial location of PAHs and very highly ionized gas

Macarena G. del Valle-Espinosa, Matilde Mingozzi, Bethan James +16

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key diagnostics of the physical conditions in the interstellar medium and are widely used to trace star formation in the mid-infrared (m…

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…

A JWST/MIRI View of the ISM in M83: I. Resolved Molecular Hydrogen Properties, Star Formation, and Feedback

Logan H. Jones, Svea Hernandez, Linda J. Smith +11

We present a spatially-resolved (~3 pc pix) analysis of the distribution, kinematics, and excitation of warm H2 gas in the nuclear starburst region of M83. Our JWST/MIRI IFU…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Galaxies as seen with JWST

Dimitra Rigopoulou, Fergus R. Donnan, Ismael García-Bernete +6

We present a systematic study of mid-infrared spectra of galaxies including star-forming galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei observed with JWST MIRI-MRS and NIRSpec-IFU. We focus o…
