Growth of Aromatic Hydrocarbon Dust Particles in the Extremely Metal-poor Galaxy Sextans A

Elizabeth J. Tarantino, Julia Roman-Duval, Karin M. Sandstrom +17

The mid-infrared spectrum of star-forming, high metallicity galaxies is dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic bonds in small carbonaceous dust grains, often re…

SIMLA: The Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph Mapping Legacy Archive

Grant P. Donnelly, Cory M. Whitcomb, Lindsey Hands +9

We present the Spitzer/IRS Mapping Legacy Archive (SIMLA); a complete set of mid-infrared spectral cubes built from low-resolution mapping-mode fixed-target observations from Spitz…

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…

Localized Deviations from the CO-PAH Relation in PHANGS-JWST Galaxies: Faint PAH Emission or Elevated CO Emissivity?

Jaeyeon Kim, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +25

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission is widely used to trace the distribution of molecular gas in the interstellar medium, exhibiting a tight correlation with CO(2-1) emi…

PHANGS-JWST: the largest extragalactic molecular cloud catalog traced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission

Z. Bazzi, D. Colombo, F. Bigiel +25

High-resolution JWST images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission structures that trace molecular gas, including CO-dark regions. We ident…
