The lifetime of 100,000 molecular clouds in the nearby Universe
Z. Bazzi, M. I. N. Kobayashi, D. Colombo +25
Multiple mechanisms are proposed for the formation of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), from gravitational free-fall caused by self-gravity to stellar feedback-driven gas compression.…
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…
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…
The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue
A. T. Barnes, R. Chandar, K. Kreckel +38
We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc), based on high-resolution Halp…
