GOALS-JWST: Constraining the Emergence Timescale for Massive Star Clusters in NGC 3256
Sean T. Linden, Thomas Lai, Aaron S. Evans +28
We present the results of a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam and NIRSpec investigation into the young massive star cluster (YMC) population of NGC 3256, the most cluster-ri…
Spectroscopic Constraints on the Mid-Infrared Attenuation Curve: I -- Attenuation Model using PAH Emission
Thomas S. -Y. Lai, J. D. T. Smith, Els Peeters +4
We introduce a novel model to spectroscopically constrain the mid-infrared (MIR) extinction/attenuation curve from 3--17 um, using Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission dr…
A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk
Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
The Impact of an AGN on PAH Emission in Galaxies: the Case of Ring Galaxy NGC 4138
G. P. Donnelly, J. D. T. Smith, B. T. Draine +5
We present a focused study of radially-resolved varying PAH emission in the low-luminosity AGN-host NGC 4138 using deep Spitzer/IRS spectral maps. Using new model PAH spectra, we i…
The 3D Geometry of Reflection Nebulae IC 59 and IC 63 with their illuminating Star Gamma Cas
Jacob M. Eiermann, Miranda Caputo, Thomas S. -Y. Lai +1
The early-type star Cas illuminates the reflection nebulae IC 59 and IC 63, creating two photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). Uncertainties about the distances to the nebulae and…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission at the Base of the M 82 Galactic Wind
Alberto D. Bolatto, Rebecca C. Levy, Elizabeth Tarantino +37
We present new observations of the central 1 kpc of the M 82 starburst obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared camera (NIRCam) instrument at a resolution…
