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…

The PAH 3.4 micron feature as a tracer of shielding in the Orion Bar and NGC 6240

N. Thatte, D. Rigopoulou, F. R. Donnan +8

We have carried out a detailed analysis of the 3.4 micron spectral feature arising from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), using JWST archival data. For the first time in an e…

The Calibration of Short Wavelength Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission as Star Formation Rate Indicators with JWST

Benjamin Gregg, Daniela Calzetti, Angela Adamo +18

We use JWST/NIRCam and MIRI imaging acquired by the Feedback in Emerging extrAgalactic Star clusTers (FEAST) program along with archival HST imaging to map ionized gas (Pa, Br$α…

The Interstellar Medium in I Zw 18 seen with JWST/MIRI: II. Warm Molecular Hydrogen and Warm Dust

L. K. Hunt, B. T. Draine, M. G. Navarro +16

We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer of IZw18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of % Solar. Here, we investigate warm molecular hydr…

The Metallicity Dependence of PAH Emission in Galaxies II: Insights from JWST/NIRCam Imaging of the Smallest Dust Grains in M101

Cory M. Whitcomb, J. -D. T. Smith, Elizabeth Tarantino +11

We explore the physical origins of the observed deficit of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at sub-solar metallicity using JWST/NIRCam imaging of the nearby galaxy M101, cov…
