Forecasting the Cross Correlation of Terahertz Intensity Mapper [C ii] Line Intensity Maps with Euclid Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We forecast that the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) cross-correlated with Euclid’s Deep Field Fornax (EDF-F), TIM × EDF-F, will detect the [C ii ]-galaxy cross-power spectrum at a median redshift of 1.1 with ≳7 σ confidence.

An Analysis of the Complex and Compact Outflow Cavity Carved by HOPS 361-A in NGC 2071 IR

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a combined Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) and two-epoch Hubble Space Telescope (HST) study of the region NGC 2071 IR containing the outflow from the protostar HOPS 361-A (NGC 2071 IRS 1).

SOFIA Polarization Spectrum of Three Star-forming Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal
The dust emission polarization spectrum—how the polarization percentage changes with wavelength—serves as a probe of dust grain properties in star-forming regions.

Superconducting Nanowire Detection of Neutral Atoms and Molecules via Their Internal and Kinetic Energy in the eV Range

Advanced Physics Research
Superconducting nanowires are widely recognized as exceptional sensors in photonics, information processing, and astronomy. Even a single infrared photon can break Cooper pairs, generate a hot spot and trigger a measurable quantum phase transition. Here,

Measuring Star Formation Rates in the Milky Way from Hi-GAL 70 μm Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
Three methods for computing the total star formation rate (SFR) of the Milky Way agree well with a reference value of 1.65 ± 0.19 M _⊙ yr ^−1 . They are then used to determine the radial dependence of the SFR and face-on map for the Milky Way. First, the

Magnetic Fields in the Pillars of Creation

The Astrophysical Journal
Due to dust grain alignment with magnetic fields, dust polarization observations of far-infrared emission from cold molecular clouds are often used to trace magnetic fields, allowing a probe of the effects of magnetic fields on the star formation process.

Resolved Measurements of the CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor in 37 Nearby Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure the CO-to-H _2 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.

FIELDMAPS Data Release: Far-infrared Polarization in the “Bones” of the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Polarization observations of the Milky Way and many other spiral galaxies have found a close correspondence between the orientation of spiral arms and magnetic field lines on scales of hundreds of parsecs. This paper presents polarization measurements at

MAGAZ3NE: Far-IR and Radio Insights into the Nature and Properties of Ultramassive Galaxies at z ≳ 3

The Astrophysical Journal
Deep and wide-field near-infrared (NIR) surveys have recently discovered and confirmed ultramassive galaxies (UMGs; ${\mathrm{log}}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })$ > 11) spectroscopically at z ≳ 3.

MAGAZ3NE: Confirming Dust Deficiency and Quiescent Nature of Ultramassive Galaxies at 3 < z < 4 with ALMA Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
A major challenge in identifying massive quiescent galaxies at z  > 3 is distinguishing truly passive systems from dust-obscured star-forming galaxies, as both populations exhibit similar red ultraviolet-to-near-infrared colors.
