PHANGS-JWST First Results: Dust embedded star clusters in NGC 7496 selected via 3.3 m PAH emission
Jimena Rodriguez, Janice Lee, Bradley Whitmore +38
The earliest stages of star formation occur enshrouded in dust and are not observable in the optical. Here we leverage the extraordinary new high-resolution infrared imaging from J…
PHANGS: Constraining Star Formation Timescales Using the Spatial Correlations of Star Clusters and Giant Molecular Clouds
Jordan A. Turner, Daniel A. Dale, James Lilly +22
In the hierarchical view of star formation, giant molecular gas clouds (GMCs) undergo fragmentation to form small-scale structures made up of stars and star clusters. Here we study…
The Gas-Star Formation Cycle in Nearby Star-forming Galaxies II. Resolved Distributions of CO and H Emission for 49 PHANGS Galaxies
Hsi-An Pan, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +36
The relative distribution of molecular gas and star formation in galaxies gives insight into the physical processes and timescales of the cycle between gas and stars. In this work,…
Dense molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across the disc of NGC 3627
I. Bešlić, A. T. Barnes, F. Bigiel +29
It is still poorly constrained how the densest phase of the interstellar medium varies across galactic environment. A large observing time is required to recover significant emissi…
Star formation scaling relations at ~100 pc from PHANGS: Impact of completeness and spatial scale
I. Pessa, E. Schinnerer, F. Belfiore +31
Aims: The complexity of star formation at the physical scale of molecular clouds is not yet fully understood. We investigate the mechanisms regulating the formation of stars in dif…
The organization of cloud-scale gas density structure: high resolution CO vs. 3.6 m brightness contrasts in nearby galaxies
Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Miguel Querejeta +29
In this paper we examine the factors that shape the distribution of molecular gas surface densities on the 150 pc scale across 67 morphologically diverse star-forming galaxies in t…
