Duration and properties of the embedded phase of star formation in 37 nearby galaxies from PHANGS-JWST
Lise Ramambason, Mélanie Chevance, Jaeyeon Kim +32
Light reprocessed by dust grains emitting in the infrared allows the study of the physics at play in dusty, embedded regions, where ultraviolet and optical wavelengths are attenuat…
The impact of spiral arms on the star formation life cycle
Andrea Romanelli, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +18
The matter cycle between gas clouds and stars in galaxies plays a crucial role in regulating galaxy evolution through feedback mechanisms. In turn, the local and global galactic en…
PHANGS-JWST: Data Processing Pipeline and First Full Public Data Release
Thomas G. Williams, Janice C. Lee, Kirsten L. Larson +55
The exquisite angular resolution and sensitivity of JWST is opening a new window for our understanding of the Universe. In nearby galaxies, JWST observations are revolutionizing ou…
Do spiral arms enhance star formation efficiency?
Miguel Querejeta, Adam K. Leroy, Sharon E. Meidt +32
Spiral arms are some of the most spectacular features in disc galaxies, and also present in our own Milky Way. It has been argued that star formation should proceed more efficientl…
