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…
A steep mass transition for bar-driven ISM structuring revealed by PHANGS-JWST
Eric Emsellem, Jessica Sutter, Ryan Chown +26
Galactic bars play a critical role in the secular evolution of their hosts by reorganising the ISM. We use a sample of 57 star-forming disc galaxies observed with JWST at 3 and 7.7…
To What Extent Are Star Cluster Ages Encoded in Their Environments? Exploring the Spatial Distribution of Age-Related Information with PHANGS-HST Imaging and Convolutional Neural Networks
Javier Viaña, Janice C. Lee, Andrew Vanderburg +12
The environments around star clusters evolve as stellar feedback reshapes the interstellar medium and dynamical processes reorganize the structure of the surrounding stellar field.…
Stellar associations powering HII regions $\unicode{x2013}$ II. Escape fraction of ionizing photons
Fabian Scheuermann, Kathryn Kreckel, Jia Wei Teh +27
Newly formed stars have a profound impact on their environment by depositing energy and momentum into the surrounding gas. However, only a fraction of the stellar feedback is retai…
Evolved Supergiants in PHANGS I: Red Supergiants in 19 Galaxies between 5-20 Mpc with HST and JWST
Sumit K. Sarbadhicary, David Thilker, Adam K. Leroy +17
Red supergiants (RSGs) are important for our understanding of supernova progenitors, stellar populations, stellar evolution, mass loss and dust production. Extragalactic surveys of…
PAH Marks the Spot: Digging for Buried Clusters in Nearby Star-forming Galaxies
Gabrielle B. Graham, Daniel A. Dale, Chase L. Smith +39
The joint capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST allow for an unparalleled look at the early lives of star clusters at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. We pre…
