Mid-Infrared Colors Vary with Galactic Environment: Contrasting Star-Forming Disks, Young Centers, and Quiescent Star-Formation Deserts

Debosmita Pathak, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +27

We present pc-resolution JWST/MIRI and NIRCam measurements of mid-infrared (mid-IR) color variations in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) of 71 nearby star-forming…

Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN). IV. Extent of active galactic nucleus feedback on the interstellar medium

Mallory D. Thorp, Antonio Usero, Frank Bigiel +19

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are intertwined with galaxy evolution, injecting energy into the interstellar medium (ISM) that could regulate star formation as a galaxy evolves. Howe…

Stellar associations powering HII regions $\unicode{x2013}$ II. Escape fraction of ionizing photons

Fabian Scheuermann, Kathryn Kreckel, Jia Wei Teh +27

Newly formed stars have a profound impact on their environment by depositing energy and momentum into the surrounding gas. However, only a fraction of the stellar feedback is retai…

Masses, Star-Formation Efficiencies, and Dynamical Evolution of 18,000 HII Regions

Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Ashley. T. Barnes +36

We present measurements of the masses associated with HII regions across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies by combining data from JWST, HST, MUSE, ALMA, VLA, and MeerKAT…

Linking stellar populations to HII regions across nearby galaxies. II. Infrared Reprocessed and UV Direct Radiation Pressure in HII Regions

Debosmita Pathak, Adam Leroy, Todd Thompson +27

Radiation pressure is a key mechanism by which stellar feedback disrupts molecular clouds and drives HII region expansion. This includes direct radiation pressure exerted by UV pho…

Discovery of 2200 new supernova remnants in 19 nearby star-forming galaxies with MUSE spectroscopy

Jing Li, K. Kreckel, S. Sarbadhicary +18

We present the largest extragalactic survey of supernova remnant (SNR) candidates in nearby star-forming galaxies using exquisite spectroscopic maps from MUSE. Supernova remnants e…

H-alpha emission and HII regions at the locations of recent supernovae in nearby galaxies

Ness Mayker Chen, Adam K. Leroy, Sumit K. Sarbadhicary +22

We present a statistical analysis of the local, approximately 50-100 pc scale, H-alpha emission at the locations of recent (less than 125 years) supernovae (SNe) in nearby star-for…

The PHANGS-AstroSat Atlas of Nearby Star Forming Galaxies

Hamid Hassani, Erik Rosolowsky, Eric W. Koch +29

We present the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS)-AstroSat atlas, which contains ultraviolet imaging of 31 nearby star-forming galaxies captured by the…

A Two-Component Probability Distribution Function Describes the mid-IR Emission from the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies

Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Todd A. Thompson +28

High-resolution JWST-MIRI images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal emission with complex substructures that trace dust heated both by massive young stars and the diffuse interstella…

Where do stars explode in the ISM? -- The distribution of dense gas around evolved massive stars in M33

Sumit K. Sarbadhicary, Jordan Wagner, Eric W. Koch +27

The effect of supernovae (SNe) on star-formation in the interstellar medium (ISM) depends sensitively on where SNe explode with respect to ISM clouds. Observationally, SN ISM envir…

Discovery of an AGN-Driven Molecular Outflow in the Local Early-Type Galaxy NGC 1266

Katherine Alatalo, Leo Blitz, Lisa M. Young +26

We report the discovery of a powerful molecular wind from the nucleus of the non-interacting nearby S0 field galaxy NGC 1266. The single-dish CO profile exhibits emission to +/- 40…
