PHANGS–JWST First Results: Mapping the 3.3 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Vibrational Band in Nearby Galaxies with NIRCam Medium Bands by Karin M.

Diederik Kruijssen, Kirsten L. Larson, Daizhong Liu, Laura A. Lopez, Sharon E. Meidt, Eric J. Murphy, Mattia C. Sormani, David A. Thilker, Elizabeth J. Watkins

“…This percentage systematically varies from galaxy to galaxy and shows radial trends within the galaxies related to each galaxy’s distribution of stellar mass, interstellar medium, and star formation. The 3.3 μ m emission is well correlated with the 11.3 μ m PAH feature traced with the MIRI F1130W filter, as is expected, since both features arise from C–H vibrational modes. …”
