JWST Whirlpool Galaxy Treasury: Mid-Infrared Emission in M51 and its Relation to Gas Column and Star Formation
Mansi Padave, Karin M. Sandstrom, Daniel A. Dale +25
Using JWST/MIRI imaging of M51 in eight broadband filters, we investigate correlations of mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dust continuum with…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Molecular Hydrogen Excitation and Disequilibrium in M82
Sara E. Duval, J. D. T. Smith, Alberto D. Bolatto +24
Emission from the pure rotational transitions of H traces warm molecular gas, providing insight into its temperature distribution and local heating conditions. We have extended…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Dust Processing in the M82 Superwind
Serena A. Cronin, Alberto D. Bolatto, Helena M. Richie +39
We present JWST MIRI and NIRCam imaging of the inner ~5 kpc of the M82 superwind at 0.05-0.375'' (~0.9-6.5 pc) resolution. Targeted filters probe emission from polycyclic aromatic…
Resonant Scattering of the He I 1.0833m Triplet in H II Regions: Emission Spectra
B. T. Draine
Resonant scattering of He I 1.0833m triplet photons by metastable He 2 S is studied for optical depths characteristic of H II regions. Regions with large He 2 S…
Growth of Aromatic Hydrocarbon Dust Particles in the Extremely Metal-poor Galaxy Sextans A
Elizabeth J. Tarantino, Julia Roman-Duval, Karin M. Sandstrom +17
The mid-infrared spectrum of star-forming, high metallicity galaxies is dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic bonds in small carbonaceous dust grains, often re…
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…
