Orbital- and Spin-phase Variability in the X-Ray Emission from the Accreting Pulsar Centaurus X-3

Tsubasa Tamba et al.

Summary: We conducted time-resolved analysis on the X-ray pulsar Centaurus X-3 using 39 ks NuSTAR observation data, focusing on the orbital-phase interval of phi = 0.199-0.414. The study investigated the variability in both orbital and spin phases through analysis of time-resolved spectra, light curves, and pulse profiles. The results showed that the orbital-phase variability was caused by a combination of intrinsic flux variability and obscuration by the clumpy stellar wind, while the spin-phase analysis revealed variations in spectral features such as the continuum, Fe line, and CRSF.

The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby GalaxieS

Janice C. Lee et al.

Summary: The PHANGS collaboration is building a reference data set for the study of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxies, using the high-resolution infrared imaging from JWST. By combining data from various telescopes and instruments, such as ALMA, VLT-MUSE, and Hubble, PHANGS-JWST enables a comprehensive analysis of star formation, dust emission, and ISM properties. This survey provides valuable insights into the earliest phases of star formation and feedback, the relationship between small dust grains and local ISM conditions, and the role of dust in tracing star formation activity.

PHANGS-JWST First Results: The Dust Filament Network of NGC 628 and Its Relation to Star Formation Activity

David A. Thilker et al.

Summary: PHANGS-JWST mid-infrared imaging has revealed detailed filaments of dust emission in nearby spiral galaxies. In a pilot study, we systematically mapped the dust filament network (DFN) in NGC 628 at multiple scales. The DFN was mapped using MIRI images, while dust attenuation features were mapped using PHANGS-HST B-band imaging. The study examines the correspondence between different filaments traced by MIR and visible light, as well as the fraction of MIR flux and star formation within the DFN.

PHANGS-JWST First Results: A Global and Moderately Resolved View of Mid-infrared and CO Line Emission from Galaxies at the Start of the JWST Era

Adam K. Leroy et al.

Summary: We investigate the connection between mid-infrared and CO rotational line emissions in massive star-forming galaxies, finding a power-law relationship between the two. The slope and intercept of this relationship varies with the choice of CO line and mid-IR band. Our results indicate that PAH emission in the 8 μm and 12 μm bands arises from not only CO-bright gas but also atomic or CO-dark gas. The CO-to-mid-IR ratio is correlated with the overall stellar mass of the galaxy and inversely correlated with SFR/M-star. The first four PHANGS-JWST targets show similar CO-to-mid-IR relationships.

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Multiwavelength View of Feedback-driven Bubbles (the Phantom Voids) across NGC 628

Ashley. T. Barnes et al.

Summary: In this study, we present a detailed analysis of bubbles within the nearby star-forming galaxy NGC 628. We find that the ionized gas in the bubbles is brightest in the shells and is coincident with young and massive stellar associations. Kinematic analysis suggests a high expansion speed, indicating sustained stellar feedback as the driving mechanism. This study also suggests that such bubbles are common in other galaxies.

PHANGS-JWST First Results: A Statistical View on Bubble Evolution in NGC 628

Elizabeth J. Watkins et al.

Summary: The first JWST observations of nearby galaxies have revealed a diverse population of bubbles that can be used to study the interaction between stellar feedback and the interstellar medium. The catalog of bubbles in NGC 628, identified through PHANGS-JWST observations, provides insights into the characteristics and distribution of these bubbles. The analysis suggests that bubble mergers are common and that feedback processes play a significant role in regulating the global star formation rate.

The Galactic dynamics revealed by the filamentary structure in atomic hydrogen emission

J. D. Soler et al.

Summary: This study investigates the filamentary structure in the neutral atomic hydrogen emission in the Galactic plane. The results show that the H I filaments in the outer regions of the Milky Way display a preferred orientation parallel to the Galactic plane, while those in the inner regions do not have a preferred orientation or are mostly perpendicular to the Galactic plane. The study also reveals the connection between the H I filamentary structures and the dynamical processes shaping the Galactic disk.

The physical origin and the properties of arm spurs/feathers in local simulations of the wiggle instability

Yash Mandowara et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the wiggle instability in spiral galaxies originates from a combination of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and shock passage perturbation amplification. This instability is highly sensitive to parameters, resulting in varying effects under different conditions. The wiggle instability is able to reproduce observed feather separations in galaxies, but its relationship with other mechanisms for spur/feather formation remains unclear.

Molecular Cloud Populations in the Context of Their Host Galaxy Environments: A Multiwavelength Perspective

Jiayi Sun et al.

Summary: We present a comprehensive database constructed around the PHANGS-ALMA CO (2 - 1) survey and ancillary data, which provides insights into the distributions of molecular cloud populations and subgalactic environments in 80 PHANGS galaxies. Our analysis reveals strong correlations between population-averaged cloud properties and both local environmental properties and global properties of the host galaxy. The study also estimates important timescales relevant to molecular cloud evolution and star formation, such as the cloud-scale freefall time, turbulence crossing time, orbital motion time, shearing time, cloud-cloud collision time, and molecular gas depletion time.

Bursting Bubbles: Feedback from Clustered Supernovae and the Trade-off Between Turbulence and Outflows

Matthew E. Orr et al.

Summary: This paper presents an analytic model for clustered supernovae feedback in galaxy disks, incorporating the dynamical evolution of superbubbles formed from spatially overlapping supernova remnants. Two realistic outcomes for the evolution of superbubbles in galactic disks are proposed. It is found that superbubble breakup/breakout almost always occurs before the last Type II supernova in recently formed star clusters.

Molecular Clouds as Gravitational Instabilities in Rotating Disks: A Modified Stability Criterion

Sharon E. Meidt

Summary: This paper investigates the instabilities in molecular gas disks from a 3D perspective, showing that the stability of the disk varies with height above the midplane. Close to the midplane, instability occurs on scales larger than the Jeans length, while stability is more pervasive far from the midplane. Through 3D instability, gas disks can fragment and form structures at a faster rate than Toomre instabilities.

Environmental dependence of the molecular cloud lifecycle in 54 main-sequence galaxies

Jaeyeon Kim et al.

Summary: The processes of star formation and feedback play a major role in governing galaxy evolution by regulating the cycle of matter between gas and stars. By studying the evolutionary timeline of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), it is found that clouds live for about 1-3 GMC turbulence crossing times and are efficiently dispersed by stellar feedback within 1-5 Myr once the star-forming region becomes partially exposed.

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Spurring on Star Formation: JWST Reveals Localized Star Formation in a Spiral Arm Spur of NGC 628

Thomas G. Williams et al.

Summary: Combining observations from JWST, ALMA, and VLT, this study examines off-spiral arm star formation in the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 628. The results suggest that in situ star formation likely occurs in the spurs, and the observed young stars are not simply the leftovers of stellar birth in the spiral arms.

A new estimator of resolved molecular gas in nearby galaxies

Ryan Chown et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown a strong correlation between 12 μm emission and CO emission in galaxies, driven largely by differences between galaxies. This correlation is stronger than that between star formation rate and H-2 surface densities. The best estimator for predicting H-2 surface densities includes 12 μm emission, suggesting a physical connection at kiloparsec scales.

OGHReS: Large-scale filaments in the outer Galaxy

D. Colombo et al.

Summary: Filaments are common features of the molecular interstellar medium and play a key role in star formation. Recent studies have found large-scale filaments in both the inner and outer Milky Way, with those in the outer region showing lower masses compared to the inner region. This suggests that Milky Way dynamics can create elongated features even with lower gas supply in the Galactic outskirts.
