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…
Resolved molecular gas and star-formation in massive unquenched spirals : I. UGC 8179
Romane Cologni, Simon Flesch, Philippe Salomé +7
Recent studies have uncovered a rare population of super-massive (M* > 1e11 Msun) star-forming spiral galaxies, Super Spiral Galaxies (SSGs), whose existence challenges classical q…
Uncovering the multi-scale structure of dust distribution in nearby galaxies
E. Tanchon, M. Boquien, J. Chastenet +18
High-resolution JWST-MIRI images now allow us to resolve in great detail the multi-scale nature of the emission in nearby star-forming galaxies, from compact star-forming regions t…
The PHANGS-Hα survey. Ground-based narrow-band imaging of nearby star-forming galaxies
Alessandro Razza, Guillermo A. Blanc, Brent Groves +36
We present PHANGS-Hα, a narrow-band imaging survey that maps Hα emission over a sample of 65 nearby massive star-forming galaxies. The data were obtained using the MPG-ESO 2.2-me…
The lifetime of 100,000 molecular clouds in the nearby Universe
Z. Bazzi, M. I. N. Kobayashi, D. Colombo +25
Multiple mechanisms are proposed for the formation of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), from gravitational free-fall caused by self-gravity to stellar feedback-driven gas compression.…
