PHANGS-JWST First Results: Massive Young Star Clusters and New Insights from JWST Observations of NGC 1365
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, M. Jimena Rodríguez +28
A primary new capability of JWST is the ability to penetrate the dust in star forming galaxies to identify and study the properties of young star clusters that remain embedded in d…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: A Global and Moderately Resolved View of Mid-Infrared and CO Line Emission from Galaxies at the Start of the JWST Era
Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Karin Sandstrom +41
We explore the relationship between mid-infrared (mid-IR) and CO rotational line emission from massive star-forming galaxies, which is one of the tightest scalings in the local uni…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Tracing the Diffuse ISM with JWST Imaging of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Nearby Galaxies
Karin M. Sandstrom, Eric W. Koch, Adam K. Leroy +43
JWST observations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission provide some of the deepest and highest resolution views of the cold interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxie…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Measuring PAH Properties across the multiphase ISM
Jérémy Chastenet, Jessica Sutter, Karin Sandstrom +26
Ratios of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) vibrational bands are a promising tool for measuring the properties of the PAH population and their effect on star formation. The ph…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Destruction of the PAH molecules in HII regions probed by JWST and MUSE
Oleg V. Egorov, Kathryn Kreckel, Karin M. Sandstrom +30
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play a critical role in the reprocessing of stellar radiation and in balancing the heating and cooling processes in the interstellar medium…
PHANGS--JWST First Results: ISM structure on the turbulent Jeans scale in four disk galaxies observed by JWST and ALMA
Sharon E. Meidt, Erik Rosolowsky, Jiayi Sun +31
JWST/MIRI imaging of the nearby galaxies IC 5332, NGC 628, NGC 1365 and NGC 7496 from PHANGS reveals a richness of gas structures that in each case form a quasi-regular network of…
