Halfway to the Peak: ice absorption bands at with JWST MIRI/MRS

Anna Sajina, Alexandra Pope, Henrik Spoon +9

This paper presents the first combined detections of CO, CO, XCN and water ices beyond the local Universe. We find gas-phase CO in addition to the solid phase CO. Our source, S…

Discovery of a Dusty, Chemically Mature Companion to a z4 Starburst Galaxy in JWST ERS Data

Bo Peng, Amit Vishwas, Gordon Stacey +6

We report the discovery of two companion sources to a strongly lensed galaxy SPT0418-47 ("ring") at redshift 4.225, targeted by the JWST Early Release Science program. We confirm t…

Stellar and black hole assembly in z<0.3 infrared-luminous mergers: intermittent starbursts vs. super-Eddington accretion

Duncan Farrah, Andreas Efstathiou, Jose Afonso +20

We study stellar and black hole mass assembly in a sample of 42 infrared-luminous galaxy mergers at z<0.3 by combining results from radiative transfer modelling with archival measu…

All the PAHs: an AKARI-Spitzer Cross Archival Spectroscopic Survey of Aromatic Emission in Galaxies

Thomas S. -Y. Lai, J. D. T. Smith, Shunsuke Baba +2

We present a large sample of 2.5-38 galaxy spectra drawn from a cross-archival comparison in the AKARI-Spitzer Extragalactic Spectral Survey (ASESS), and investigate a subset…

Extinction in the 11.2 micron PAH band and the low L_11.2/L_IR in ULIRGs

Antonio Hernan-Caballero, Henrik W. W. Spoon, Almudena Alonso-Herrero +9

We present a method for recovering the intrinsic (extinction-corrected) luminosity of the 11.2 micron PAH band in galaxy spectra. Using 105 high S/N Spitzer/IRS spectra of star-for…

Warm Molecular Hydrogen in Nearby, Luminous Infrared Galaxies

Andreea O. Petric, Lee Armus, Nicolas Flagey +19

Mid-infrared molecular hydrogen (H) emission is a powerful cooling agent in galaxy mergers and in radio galaxies; it is a potential key tracer of gas evolution and energy dissi…
