The Hidden Life of Stars: Embedded Beginnings to AGB Endings in the PHANGS-JWST Sample. I. Catalog of Mid-IR Sources
Hamid Hassani, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam K. Leroy +28
We present a multiwavelength catalog of mid-infrared-selected compact sources in 19 nearby galaxies, combining JWST NIRCam/MIRI, HST UV-optical broadband, H narrow-band, and AL…
To What Extent Are Star Cluster Ages Encoded in Their Environments? Exploring the Spatial Distribution of Age-Related Information with PHANGS-HST Imaging and Convolutional Neural Networks
Javier Viaña, Janice C. Lee, Andrew Vanderburg +12
The environments around star clusters evolve as stellar feedback reshapes the interstellar medium and dynamical processes reorganize the structure of the surrounding stellar field.…
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…
