Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…

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…

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…

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…

Resolved HII regions in NGC 253: Ionized gas structure and suggestions of a universal density-surface brightness relation

Rebecca L. McClain, Adam K. Leroy, Enrico Congiu +23

We use the full-disk VLT-MUSE mosaic of NGC 253 to identify 2492 HII regions and study their resolved structure. With an average physical resolution of 17 pc, this is one of the la…

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…
