ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: Deep 1.2 mm Number Counts and Infrared Luminosity Functions at z ≃ 1–8
Ouchi, Masami; Ivison, R. J.; Koekemoer, Anton M. +40 more
We present a statistical study of 180 dust continuum sources identified in 33 massive cluster fields by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS) over a total of 133 arcmin2 area, homogeneously observed at 1.2 mm. ALCS enables us to detect extremely faint millimeter sources by lensing magnification, …
The SN 2023ixf Progenitor in M101. II. Properties
Van Dyk, Schuyler D.; Matheson, Thomas; Howell, Steve B. +12 more
We follow our first paper with an analysis of the ensemble of the extensive preexplosion ground- and space-based infrared observations of the red supergiant (RSG) progenitor candidate for the nearby core-collapse supernova SN 2023ixf in Messier 101, together with optical data prior to the explosion obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). W…
MINDS: The JWST MIRI Mid-INfrared Disk Survey
Henning, Thomas; Waters, L. B. F. M.; Östlin, Göran +43 more
The study of protoplanetary disks has become increasingly important with the Kepler satellite finding that exoplanets are ubiquitous around stars in our galaxy and the discovery of enormous diversity in planetary system architectures and planet properties. High-resolution near-IR and ALMA images show strong evidence for ongoing planet formation in…
The ALMA Survey of Star Formation and Evolution in Massive Protoclusters with Blue Profiles (ASSEMBLE): Core Growth, Cluster Contraction, and Primordial Mass Segregation
Ristorcelli, I.; Sanhueza, Patricio; Lee, Chang Won +40 more
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Survey of Star Formation and Evolution in Massive Protoclusters with Blue Profiles (ASSEMBLE) aims to investigate the process of mass assembly and its connection to high-mass star formation theories in protoclusters in a dynamic view. We observed 11 massive (M clump ≳ 103
JWST/CEERS sheds light on dusty star-forming galaxies: Forming bulges, lopsidedness, and outside-in quenching at cosmic noon
Papovich, Casey; Finkelstein, Steven L.; Pérez-González, Pablo G. +26 more
Context. We investigate the morphology and resolved physical properties of a sample of 22 IR-selected dusty star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon using the James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam images obtained in the EGS field for the CEERS survey. The exceptional resolution of the NIRCam images allowed us to spatially resolve these galaxies up to 4.4 …
A3COSMOS: The infrared luminosity function and dust-obscured star formation rate density at 0.5 < z < 6
Magnelli, B.; Pozzi, F.; Feltre, A. +16 more
Aims: We leverage the largest available Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) survey from the archive (A3COSMOS) to study infrared luminosity function and dust-obscured star formation rate density of (sub)millimeter galaxies from z = 0.5 − 6.
Methods: The A3COSMOS survey utilizes all publicly available…
THEMIS 2.0: A self-consistent model for dust extinction, emission, and polarisation
Miville-Deschênes, M. -A.; Ysard, N.; Guillet, V. +6 more
Context. Recent observational constraints in emission, extinction, and polarisation have at least partially invalidated most of the astronomical standard grain models for the diffuse interstellar medium. Moreover, laboratory measurements on interstellar silicate analogues have shown quite significant differences with the optical properties used in…
Modeling the molecular gas content and CO-to-H2 conversion factors in low-metallicity star-forming dwarf galaxies
Ramambason, L.; Lebouteiller, V.; Madden, S. C. +8 more
Context. Low-metallicity dwarf galaxies often show no or little CO emission, despite the intense star formation observed in local samples. Both simulations and resolved observations indicate that molecular gas in low-metallicity galaxies may reside in small dense clumps, surrounded by a substantial amount of more diffuse gas that is not traced by …
Resolved Measurements of the CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor in 37 Nearby Galaxies
Sandstrom, Karin M.; Bolatto, Alberto D.; Leroy, Adam K. +6 more
We measure the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (α CO) in 37 galaxies at 2 kpc resolution, using the dust surface density inferred from far-infrared emission as a tracer of the gas surface density and assuming a constant dust-to-metal ratio. In total, we have ∼790 and ∼610 independent measurements of α CO for CO (2–1) an…
Structures Of Dust and gAs (SODA): Constraining the innermost dust properties of II Zw96 with JWST observations of H2O and CO
Rigopoulou, D.; Efstathiou, A.; González-Alfonso, E. +4 more
We analyze JWST NIRSpec+MIRI/MRS observations of the infrared (IR) gas-phase molecular bands of the most enshrouded source (D1) within the interacting system and luminous IR galaxy II Zw 096. We report the detection of rovibrational lines of H2O ν2 = 1 − 0 (∼5.3-7.2 µm) and 12CO ν = 1 − 0 (∼4.45-4.95 µm…
