PHANGS-JWST First Results: A Global and Moderately Resolved View of Mid-Infrared and CO Line Emission from Galaxies at the Start of the JWST Era
Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Karin Sandstrom +41
We explore the relationship between mid-infrared (mid-IR) and CO rotational line emission from massive star-forming galaxies, which is one of the tightest scalings in the local uni…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Tracing the Diffuse ISM with JWST Imaging of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Nearby Galaxies
Karin M. Sandstrom, Eric W. Koch, Adam K. Leroy +43
JWST observations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission provide some of the deepest and highest resolution views of the cold interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxie…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Measuring PAH Properties across the multiphase ISM
Jérémy Chastenet, Jessica Sutter, Karin Sandstrom +26
Ratios of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) vibrational bands are a promising tool for measuring the properties of the PAH population and their effect on star formation. The ph…
Comparing the Locations of Supernovae to CO (2-1) Emission in their Host Galaxies
Ness Mayker Chen, Adam K. Leroy, Laura A. Lopez +19
We measure the molecular gas environment near recent ( yr old) supernovae (SNe) using or pc resolution CO (2-1) maps from the PHANGS-ALMA survey of nearb…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Rapid Evolution of Star Formation in the Central Molecular Gas Ring of NGC1365
Eva Schinnerer, Eric Emsellem, Jonathan D. Henshaw +36
Large-scale bars can fuel galaxy centers with molecular gas, often leading to the development of dense ring-like structures where intense star formation occurs, forming a very diff…
PHANGS--JWST First Results: ISM structure on the turbulent Jeans scale in four disk galaxies observed by JWST and ALMA
Sharon E. Meidt, Erik Rosolowsky, Jiayi Sun +31
JWST/MIRI imaging of the nearby galaxies IC 5332, NGC 628, NGC 1365 and NGC 7496 from PHANGS reveals a richness of gas structures that in each case form a quasi-regular network of…
The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS
Janice C. Lee, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +74
The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference dataset for the multi-scale, multi-phase study of star formation and the interstellar medium in nearby galaxies. With the suc…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Duration of the early phase of massive star formation in NGC628
Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +33
The earliest stages of star formation, when young stars are still deeply embedded in their natal clouds, represent a critical phase in the matter cycle between gas clouds and young…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Multi-wavelength view of feedback-driven bubbles (The Phantom Voids) across NGC 628
Ashley T. Barnes, Elizabeth J. Watkins, Sharon E. Meidt +51
We present a high-resolution view of bubbles within The Phantom Galaxy (NGC 628); a nearby (~10Mpc), star-forming (~2Msun/yr), face-on (i~9deg) grand-design spiral galaxy. With new…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: A statistical view on bubble evolution in NGC628
Elizabeth J. Watkins, Ashley Barnes, Kiana F. Henny +49
The first JWST observations of nearby galaxies have unveiled a rich population of bubbles that trace the stellar feedback mechanisms responsible for their creation. Studying these…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Spurring on Star Formation: JWST Reveals Localised Star Formation in a Spiral Arm Spur of NGC 628
Thomas G. Williams, Jiayi Sun, Ashley T. Barnes +34
We combine JWST observations with ALMA CO and VLT-MUSE H data to examine off-spiral arm star formation in the face-on, grand-design spiral galaxy NGC 628. We focus on the northe…
Calibration of hybrid resolved star formation rate recipes based on PHANGS-MUSE H and H maps
Francesco Belfiore, Adam K. Leroy, Jiayi Sun +17
Mapping star-formation rates (SFR) within galaxies is key to unveiling their assembly and evolution. Calibrations exist for computing SFR from a combination of ultraviolet and infr…
A new method for age-dating the formation of bars in disc galaxies: The TIMER view on NGC1433's old bar and the inside-out growth of its nuclear disc
Camila de Sá-Freitas, Francesca Fragkoudi, Dimitri A. Gadotti +16
The epoch in which galactic discs settle is a major benchmark to test models of galaxy formation and evolution but is as yet largely unknown. Once discs settle and become self-grav…
Molecular Cloud Populations in the Context of Their Host Galaxy Environments: A Multiwavelength Perspective
Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +35
We present a rich, multiwavelength, multiscale database built around the PHANGS-ALMA CO(2-1) survey and ancillary data. We use this database to present the distributions of mol…
Environmental dependence of the molecular cloud lifecycle in 54 main sequence galaxies
Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +27
The processes of star formation and feedback, regulating the cycle of matter between gas and stars on the scales of giant molecular clouds (GMCs; 100pc), play a major role in…
