Tracing the earliest stages of star and cluster formation in 19 nearby galaxies with PHANGS-JWST and HST: compact 3.3 m PAH emitters and their relation to the optical census of star clusters

M. Jimena Rodríguez, Janice C. Lee, Remy Indebetouw +25

The earliest stages of star and cluster formation are hidden within dense cocoons of gas and dust, limiting their detection at optical wavelengths. With the unprecedented infrared…

CO-to-H conversion factor and grain size distribution through the analysis of - relation

I-Da Chiang, Hiroyuki Hirashita, Jeremy Chastenet +5

The CO-to-H conversion factor () is expected to vary with dust abundance and grain size distribution through the efficiency of shielding gas from CO-dissociation…

CO isotopologue-derived molecular gas conditions and CO-to-H conversion factors in M51

Jakob den Brok, María J. Jiménez-Donaire, Adam Leroy +24

Over the past decade, several millimeter interferometer programs have mapped the nearby star-forming galaxy M51 at a spatial resolution of pc. This study combines observ…

Dynamical resonances in PHANGS galaxies

Marina Ruiz-García, Miguel Querejeta, Santiago García-Burillo +13

Bars are remarkable stellar structures that can transport gas toward centers and drive the secular evolution of galaxies. In this context, it is important to locate dynamical reson…

The Resolved Behavior of Dust Mass, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fraction, and Radiation Field in ~ 800 Nearby Galaxies

Jérémy Chastenet, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +8

We present resolved m dust spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting for nearby galaxies. We measure the distribution of radiation field intensities heating…

PHANGS-ML: the universal relation between PAH band and optical line ratios across nearby star-forming galaxies

Dalya Baron, Karin Sandstrom, Jessica Sutter +22

The structure and chemistry of the dusty interstellar medium (ISM) are shaped by complex processes that depend on the local radiation field, gas composition, and dust grain propert…
