The Resolved Structure of a Low Metallicity Photodissociation Region

Ilyse Y. Clark, Karin Sandstrom, Mark Wolfire +14

Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) are key to understanding the feedback processes that shape interstellar matter in galaxies. One important type of PDR is the interface between HII…

The resolved star-formation efficiency of early-type galaxies

Thomas G. Williams, Francesco Belfiore, Martin Bureau +19

Understanding how and why star formation varies between galaxies is fundamental to our comprehension of galaxy evolution. In particular, the star-formation efficiency (SFE; star-fo…

Linking stellar populations to HII regions across nearby galaxies. II. Infrared Reprocessed and UV Direct Radiation Pressure in HII Regions

Debosmita Pathak, Adam Leroy, Todd Thompson +27

Radiation pressure is a key mechanism by which stellar feedback disrupts molecular clouds and drives HII region expansion. This includes direct radiation pressure exerted by UV pho…

Tracing the earliest stages of star and cluster formation in 19 nearby galaxies with PHANGS-JWST and HST: compact 3.3 m PAH emitters and their relation to the optical census of star clusters

M. Jimena Rodríguez, Janice C. Lee, Remy Indebetouw +25

The earliest stages of star and cluster formation are hidden within dense cocoons of gas and dust, limiting their detection at optical wavelengths. With the unprecedented infrared…

Machine learning the gap between real and simulated nebulae: A domain-adaptation approach to classify ionised nebulae in nearby galaxies

Francesco Belfiore, Michele Ginolfi, Guillermo Blanc +8

Classifying ionised nebulae in nearby galaxies is crucial to studying stellar feedback mechanisms and understanding the physical conditions of the interstellar medium. This classif…

Metallicity calibrations based on auroral lines from PHANGS-MUSE data

Matilde Brazzini, Francesco Belfiore, Michele Ginolfi +13

We present a chemical analysis of selected HII regions from the PHANGS-MUSE nebular catalogue. Our intent is to empirically re-calibrate strong-line diagnostics of gas-phase metall…
