PAH Emission from Star-forming Galaxies in JWST Mid-infrared Imaging of the Lensing Cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327

The mid-infrared spectra of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) are characterized by characteristic broad polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission features at 3–20 μ m. As these features are redshifted, they are predicted to dominate the flux at specific mid-infrared wavelengths, leading to substanti...
