A Two-Component Probability Distribution Function Describes the Mid-IR Emission from the Disks of Star-forming Galaxies

High-resolution JWST-MIRI images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal emission with complex substructures that trace dust heated both by massive young stars and the diffuse interstellar radiation field. We present high angular (0.″85) and physical resolution (20–80 pc) measurements of the probability di...
