Variations in the 3.3 m Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Feature Across Nearby Galaxies Driven by Metallicity and Radiation Field Spectrum
Hannah B. Koziol, Karin Sandstrom, Dalya Baron +29
We use JWST NIRCam imaging to investigate the 3.3 m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) feature in nearby galaxies. NIRCam observations of the 3.3 m feature are emerging as…
Mid-Infrared Colors Vary with Galactic Environment: Contrasting Star-Forming Disks, Young Centers, and Quiescent Star-Formation Deserts
Debosmita Pathak, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +27
We present pc-resolution JWST/MIRI and NIRCam measurements of mid-infrared (mid-IR) color variations in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) of 71 nearby star-forming…
Masses, Star-Formation Efficiencies, and Dynamical Evolution of 18,000 HII Regions
Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Ashley. T. Barnes +36
We present measurements of the masses associated with HII regions across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies by combining data from JWST, HST, MUSE, ALMA, VLA, and MeerKAT…
An Investigation of Disk Thickness in M51 from H-alpha, Pa-alpha, and Mid-Infrared Power Spectra
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Daniela Calzetti, Angela Adamo +27
Power spectra (PS) of high-resolution images of M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope have been examined for evidence of disk thic…
DIISC -- VI (COS-DIISC): UV Metal Absorption Relative to the H I disk of Galaxies
Brad Koplitz, Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Timothy Heckman +5
As part of the Deciphering the Interplay between the Interstellar medium, Stars, and the Circumgalactic medium (DIISC) survey, we present the UV metal absorption features in the Ci…
