PHANGS-JWST First Results: Massive Young Star Clusters and New Insights from JWST Observations of NGC 1365
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, M. Jimena Rodríguez +28
A primary new capability of JWST is the ability to penetrate the dust in star forming galaxies to identify and study the properties of young star clusters that remain embedded in d…
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…
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…
CI and CO in Nearby Spiral Galaxies -- I. Line Ratio and Abundance Variations at ~ 200 pc Scales
Daizhong Liu, Eva Schinnerer, Toshiki Saito +25
We present new neutral atomic carbon [CI](3P1-3P0) mapping observations within the inner ~7 kpc and ~4 kpc of the disks of NGC3627 and NGC4321 at a spatial resolution of 190 pc and…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: Stellar Feedback-Driven Excitation and Dissociation of Molecular Gas in the Starburst Ring of NGC 1365?
Daizhong Liu, Eva Schinnerer, Yixian Cao +36
We compare embedded young massive star clusters (YMCs) to (sub-)millimeter line observations tracing the excitation and dissociation of molecular gas in the starburst ring of NGC 1…
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: 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: 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…
On the scale-height of the molecular gas disc in Milky Way-like galaxies
Sarah M. R. Jeffreson, Jiayi Sun, Christine D. Wilson
We study the relationship between the scale-height of the molecular gas disc and the turbulent velocity dispersion of the molecular interstellar medium within a simulation of a Mil…
Stellar feedback in M83 as observed with MUSE -- II. Analysis of the HII region population: ionisation budget and pre-SN feedback
Lorenza Della Bruna, Angela Adamo, Anna F. McLeod +11
We study pre-supernova feedback in a sample of 4700 HII regions in the nearby spiral galaxy M83, identified on their H emission. We pectroscopically identify Wolf-Rayet (…
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…
