Star Formation and Molecular Gas Diagnostics with Mid- and Far-infrared Emission

With the start of JWST observations, mid-infrared (MIR) emission features from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), H _2 rotational lines, fine structure lines from ions, and dust continuum will be widely available tracers of gas and star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies at various redshifts. Ma...
