Survival of very small carbonaceous dust grains in the inner-CGM of NGC 891 from JWST/MIRI MRS
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Karl D. Gordon +26
We present new spectroscopic observations of the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM) of NGC 891 taken with the Mid-Infrared Imager/Medium Resolution Spectroscopy instrument onboard J…
DustPedia and Local Volume Legacy samples as benchmarks for dust evolution in galaxies
Evangelos D. Paspaliaris, Simone Bianchi, Edvige Corbelli +8
DustPedia and LVL are two samples representative of the local galaxy population, including in total 1011 unique objects of all morphological types, with a wide range of stellar mas…
PRIMA survey of the Virgo cluster
Jacopo Fritz, Maarten Baes, Diego Alejandro Vasquez Torres +11
Clusters of galaxies are unique laboratories for investigating the dependence of galaxy evolution on their environment. The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) mapped the centra…
The radial variation of the silicate-to-carbon ratio in M31 probed by PRIMA
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Maarten Baes +12
The properties of interstellar dust grains are being scrutinized more than ever before, with the advent of large facilities. Infrared emission from dust grains is a powerful asset…
The PRIMA promise of deciphering interstellar dust evolution with observations of the nearby Universe
Frédéric Galliano, Maarten Baes, Léo Belloir +25
This paper develops a few science cases, using the PRIMA far-IR probe, aimed at achieving several breakthroughs in our understanding of the dust properties and their evolution. We…
The role of young and evolved stars in the heating of dust in local galaxies
Vidhi Tailor, Viviana Casasola, Francesca Pozzi +9
Context. Dust is a fundamental component of the interstellar medium (ISM) and plays a critical role in galaxy evolution. Dust grains influence the ISM by cooling the gas, altering…
