DIGging into HII regions: the role of ionizing photon leakage and spectral hardening in coupling HII regions and diffuse ionized gas

Dalya Baron, Kathryn Kreckel, Gwen C. Rudie +15

The optical emission-line ratios of star-forming galaxies are broadly understood in the framework of photoionization, yet some systematic trends remain unexplained. Using 50--100 p…

PAHSPECS: JWST/MIRI Spectroscopy of PAHs at Cosmic Noon

Irene Shivaei, Tanio Díaz Santos, Leindert A. Boogaard +14

The physical conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM) are thought to differ greatly at high redshifts compared to local galaxies. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: The motion of dust - PAH kinematics of M82 and NGC 253 with JWST/MIRI spectroscopy

Fergus R. Donnan, Karin Sandstrom, Alberto D. Bolatto +27

We present an analysis of dust kinematics in the local starburst galaxies M82 (NGC 3034) and NGC 253 using Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) features observed with JWST/MIRI sp…

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…

JWST Whirlpool Galaxy Treasury: Mid-Infrared Emission in M51 and its Relation to Gas Column and Star Formation

Mansi Padave, Karin M. Sandstrom, Daniel A. Dale +25

Using JWST/MIRI imaging of M51 in eight broadband filters, we investigate correlations of mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dust continuum with…

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…
