Probing AGN Feedback in Dwarf Galaxies with Spatially Resolved NIR Coronal Lines from JWST
Archana Aravindan, Thomas Bohn, Gabriela Canalizo +20
We present the first spatially resolved investigation of near-infrared coronal lines in dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN), using JWST/NIRSpec integral field spect…
Spatially Resolved Star Formation relations in local LIRGs along the complete merger sequence
M. Sánchez-GarcÃa, T. DÃaz-Santos, L. Barcos-Muñoz +25
We investigate the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at ~100 pc scales in a sample of 27 nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) spanning the entire merger sequence. In…
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…
Shockingly Effective: Cluster Winds as Engines of Feedback in Starburst Galaxy VV 114
Justin A. Kader, Vivian U, Jeffrey A. Rich +29
We present high-resolution Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) and MUSE IFU spectroscopy of VV 114, a local infrared-luminous merger undergoing a vigorous starburst and showing evidence…
GOALS-JWST: The Warm Molecular Outflows of the Merging Starburst Galaxy NGC 3256
Thomas Bohn, Hanae Inami, Aditya Togi +26
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Integral Field Spectrograph observations of NGC 3256, a local infrared-luminous late-stage merging system with two nuclei roughly 1$\;\…
A Spectroscopically Calibrated Prescription for Extracting PAH Flux from JWST MIRI Imaging
Grant P. Donnelly, Thomas S. -Y. Lai, Lee Armus +24
We introduce a prescription for estimating the flux of the 7.7 micron and 11.3 micron\ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features from broadband JWST/MIRI images. Probing PAH f…
