Tracing the earliest stages of star and cluster formation in 19 nearby galaxies with PHANGS-JWST and HST: compact 3.3 m PAH emitters and their relation to the optical census of star clusters
M. Jimena Rodríguez, Janice C. Lee, Remy Indebetouw +25
The earliest stages of star and cluster formation are hidden within dense cocoons of gas and dust, limiting their detection at optical wavelengths. With the unprecedented infrared…
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and CO(2-1) Emission at 50-150 pc Scales in 70 Nearby Galaxies
Ryan Chown, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +44
Combining Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array CO(2-1) mapping and JWST near- and mid-infrared imaging, we characterize the relationship between CO(2-1) and polycyclic aro…
Disk Turbulence and Star Formation Regulation in High Main Sequence Analogue Galaxies
Laura Lenkić, Deanne B. Fisher, Alberto D. Bolatto +7
The gas-phase velocity dispersions in disk galaxies, which trace turbulence in the interstellar medium, are observed to increase with lookback time. However, the mechanisms that se…
PHANGS-MeerKAT and MHONGOOSE HI observations of nearby spiral galaxies: physical drivers of the molecular gas fraction,
Cosima Eibensteiner, Jiayi Sun, Frank Bigiel +36
The molecular-to-atomic gas ratio is crucial to the evolution of the interstellar medium in galaxies. We investigate the balance between the atomic () and molecular gas…
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…
Simulating nearby disc galaxies on the main star formation sequence I. Bar formation and the building of the central gas reservoir
Pierrick Verwilghen, Eric Emsellem, Florent Renaud +14
Past studies have long emphasised the key role played by galactic stellar bars in the context of disc secular evolution, via the redistribution of gas and stars, the triggering of…
Cloud-Scale Molecular Gas Properties of the Antennae Merger: A Comparative Study with PHANGS-ALMA Galaxies and NGC 3256
Nathan Brunetti, Christine D. Wilson, Hao He +8
We present observations of the central 9 kpc of the Antennae merger (NGC 4038/9) at 55 pc resolution in the CO 2-1 line obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Arr…
Unraveling the Mystery of the Low CO-to-H Conversion Factor in Starburst Galaxies: RADEX Modeling of the Antennae
Hao He, Christine D. Wilson, Jiayi Sun +3
CO emission has been widely used as a tracer of molecular gas mass. However, it is a long-standing issue to accurately constrain the CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_{\mathrm{CO}}…
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…
Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351
Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38
We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
