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…

Star Cluster Populations in 38 Spiral Galaxies: Evidence for Near-Universal Mass and Age Distributions from PHANGS

Rupali Chandar, Matthew R. Floyd, David A. Thilker +23

We present the largest study to date of star cluster mass and age distributions in nearby galaxies. The analysis is based on a uniformly selected catalog of over 15,000 (36,000) hu…

Quantifying the decline in CO(2-1) intensity around PHANGS-HST star clusters: Constraints on molecular gas dispersal, stellar feedback, and cluster formation efficiency

Hao He, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +37

We combine the largest survey of star clusters in nearby galaxies to-date, PHANGS-HST, with maps of molecular gas maps from PHANGS-ALMA to constrain the efficiency of cluster forma…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: A Young Bubble in NGC 253's Central Starburst

Kaitlyn E. Sheriff, Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Xinyu Mai +31

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of a young bubble in the nuclear starburst of NGC 253 using new JWST MIRI-MRS observations together with archival ALMA (100, 350, 690 GHz) an…

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…
