GOALS-JWST: The Warm Molecular Outflows of the Merging Starburst Galaxy NGC 3256

GOALS-JWST: The Warm Molecular Outflows of the Merging Starburst Galaxy NGC 3256

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) integral-field spectrograph observations of NGC 3256, a local infrared-luminous late-stage merging system with two nuclei roughly 1 kpc apart, both of which have evidence of cold molecular outflows. Using JWST/NIRSpec and Mid-Infrared Instrument data sets...
