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…
On the relation between magnetic field strength and gas density in the interstellar medium: A multiscale analysis
D. J. Whitworth, S. Srinivasan, R. E. Pudritz +19
The magnetic field strength to gas density relation in the interstellar medium is of fundamental importance. We present and compare Bayesian analyses of the B-n relation for two co…
Anisotropy in the carbon monoxide (CO) line emission across the Milky Way's disk
J. D. Soler, M. Heyer, M. Benedettini +11
We present a study of the CO(1-0) line emission anisotropy across the Milky Way's disk to examine the effect of stellar feedback and Galactic dynamics on the distribution of…
Kinetic tomography of the Galactic plane within 1.25 kiloparsecs from the Sun. The interstellar flows revealed by HI and CO line emission and 3D dust
J. D. Soler, S. Molinari, S. C. O. Glover +10
We present a reconstruction of the line-of-sight motions of the local interstellar medium (ISM) based on the combination of a model of the three-dimensional dust density distributi…
Evolutionary growth of molecular clouds as traced by their infrared bright fraction
E. J. Watkins, N. Peretto, A. J. Rigby +3
Understanding how stars form, evolve and impact molecular clouds is key to understanding why star formation is such an inefficient process globally. In this paper, we use the infra…
WEAVE First Light Observations: Origin and Dynamics of the Shock Front in Stephan's Quintet
M. I. Arnaudova, S. Das, D. J. B. Smith +62
We present a detailed study of the large-scale shock front in Stephan's Quintet, a byproduct of past and ongoing interactions. Using integral-field spectroscopy from the new Willia…
