GOALS-JWST: Mid-infrared Molecular Gas Excitation Probes the Local Conditions of Nuclear Star Clusters and the Active Galactic Nucleus in the LIRG VV 114

The Astrophysical Journal
The enormous increase in mid-IR sensitivity and spatial and spectral resolution provided by the JWST spectrographs enables, for the first time, detailed extragalactic studies of molecular vibrational bands. This opens an entirely new window for the study

Dense Molecular Gas Properties of the Central Kiloparsec of Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies Constrained by ALMA Three Transition-line Observations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the results of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1–2 kpc resolution, three rotational transition-line ( J = 2–1, J = 3–2, and J = 4–3) observations of multiple dense molecular gas tracers (HCN, HCO ^+ , and HNC) for 10 nearby (

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

The Role of Starburst-AGN composites in Luminous Infrared Galaxy Mergers: Insights from the New Optical Classification Scheme

, 2009
We investigate the fraction of starbursts, starburst-AGN composites, Seyferts, and LINERs as a function of infrared luminosity (L_IR) and merger progress for ~500 infrared-selected galaxies. Using the new optical classifications afforded by the extremely

Clusters, Clumps, Dust, and Gas (CCDG) in NGC 1614: Benchmarking Cluster Demographics in Extreme Systems

The Astronomical Journal
Observations of young star clusters in a variety of galaxies have been used to constrain basic properties related to star formation, such as the fraction of stars found in clusters (Γ) and the shape of the cluster mass function (CMF).

ALMA 0.5 kpc Resolution Spatially Resolved Investigations of Nuclear Dense Molecular Gas Properties in Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies Based on HCN and HCO+ Three Transition Line Data

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the results of our ALMA ≲0.5 kpc resolution dense molecular line (HCN and HCO ^+ J = 2–1, J = 3–2, and J = 4–3) observations of 12 nearby (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ([U]LIRGs). After matching beam sizes of all molecular line data to the

JWST imaging of the closest globular clusters—I. Possible infrared excess among white dwarfs in NGC 6397

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of the globular cluster NGC 6397 and use them to extend to infrared wavelengths the characterization of the cluster's entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS). The data allows us to probe fundamental astrophysical WD properties and to search for evidence in their colors for (or against ...

Not So Fast: A New Catalog of Meteor Persistent Trains

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 129, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract This paper presents the results of a nearly 2‐year long campaign to detect and analyze meteor persistent trains (PTs)—self‐emitting phenomena which can linger up to an hour after their parent meteor. The modern understanding of PTs has been primarily developed from the Leonid storms at the turn of the century; our goal was to assess the ...

A Complete 16 μm Selected Galaxy Sample at z ∼ 1. II. Morphological Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a morphological analysis of the 16 μ m flux-density-limited galaxy sample at 0.8 < z < 1.3 from Huang et al. (2021). At the targeted redshift, the 16 μ m emission corresponds to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon feature from intense star ...

The HST Large Programme on NGC 6752 ‐ V. Differences in luminosity and mass function among stellar populations

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 5, June 2024.
Abstract We exploit the astro‐photometric dataset of the multi‐epoch infrared parallel field of a Hubble Space Telescope Large Programme aimed at studying the faintest stars of the globular cluster NGC 6752 to determine the luminosity and mass functions of the multiple stellar populations of this cluster. Thanks to the measurement of proper motions and
