The IMF package: a toolkit implementing mass functions and statistical tools to analyze them
Theo Richardson, Adam Ginsburg, Sergey Koposov
Mass functions are used in all areas of astrophysics. The stellar initial mass function (IMF), in particular, plays a central role in modeling stellar populations in galaxies. Howe…
JWST's first view of the most vigorously star-forming cloud in the Galactic center -- Sagittarius B2
Nazar Budaiev, Adam Ginsburg, Ashley T. Barnes +9
We report JWST NIRCAM and MIRI observations of Sgr B2, one of the most active sites of star formation in the Galaxy. These observations, using 14 filters spanning 1.5 to 25 microns…
Mapping CO Ice in a Star-Forming Filament in the 3 kpc Arm with JWST
Savannah Gramze, Adam Ginsburg, Nazar Budaiev +14
CO gas emission is a fundamental tool for measuring column density, but in cold, dark clouds, much of the CO is locked away in ice. We present JWST results from observations of a s…
A framework for modeling the evolution of young stellar objects
Theo Richardson, Adam Ginsburg, Erik Rosolowsky +2
Measuring properties of young stellar objects (YSOs) is necessary for probing the pre-main-sequence evolution of stars. As YSOs exhibit complex geometry, measurement generally enta…
