Evolved Supergiants in PHANGS I: Red Supergiants in 19 Galaxies between 5-20 Mpc with HST and JWST

Sumit K. Sarbadhicary, David Thilker, Adam K. Leroy +17

Red supergiants (RSGs) are important for our understanding of supernova progenitors, stellar populations, stellar evolution, mass loss and dust production. Extragalactic surveys of…

The Local Group L-band Survey: Probing Cold Atomic Gas in IC10 with Neutral Hydrogen Absorption

Ioana A. Stelea, Snezana Stanimirovic, Nickolas M. Pingel +20

We present the first localized detections of the cold neutral medium (CNM) in IC10, offering a rare view of dense atomic gas in a low-metallicity (0.27 solar metallicity) dwarf gal…

Ashes of Creation: JWST Uncovers Silicate Dust in Massive Star Clusters

Daniel Maschmann, Bradley C. Whitmore, David A. Thilker +35

Dust production is a fundamental aspect of the baryonic cycle of star formation. It is known that dust is injected into the interstellar medium during early star formation by super…

PAH Marks the Spot: Digging for Buried Clusters in Nearby Star-forming Galaxies

Gabrielle B. Graham, Daniel A. Dale, Chase L. Smith +39

The joint capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST allow for an unparalleled look at the early lives of star clusters at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. We pre…

Localized Deviations from the CO-PAH Relation in PHANGS-JWST Galaxies: Faint PAH Emission or Elevated CO Emissivity?

Jaeyeon Kim, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +25

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission is widely used to trace the distribution of molecular gas in the interstellar medium, exhibiting a tight correlation with CO(2-1) emi…

Resolved HII regions in NGC 253: Ionized gas structure and suggestions of a universal density-surface brightness relation

Rebecca L. McClain, Adam K. Leroy, Enrico Congiu +23

We use the full-disk VLT-MUSE mosaic of NGC 253 to identify 2492 HII regions and study their resolved structure. With an average physical resolution of 17 pc, this is one of the la…
