Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). V. First Results on the Magnetic Field Orientation of Galaxies by Alejandro S. Borlaff, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Rainer Beck, Susan E. Clark, Evangelia Ntormousi, Konstantinos Tassis, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Mehrnoosh Tahani, Daniel A. Dale, Ignacio del Moral-Castro, Julia Roman-Duval, Pamela M. Marcum, John E. Beckman, Kandaswamy Subramanian, Sarah Eftekharzadeh, Leslie Proudfit

“…The FIR B -fields seem to be more sensitive to the activity of the star-forming regions and molecular clouds within a vertical height of a few hundred parsecs in the disk of spiral galaxies than the radio B -fields.…”

Nitrogen-enriched, Highly Pressurized Nebular Clouds Surrounding a Super Star Cluster at Cosmic Noon by Massimo Pascale, Liang Dai, Christopher F. McKee, Benny T.-H. Tsang

“…We confirm that the cluster is ≲4 Myr old, is extremely massive M _⋆ ∼ 10 ^7 M _⊙ , and yet has a central component as compact as several parsecs, and we find a gas-phase metallicity Z = (0.22 ± 0.03) Z _⊙ . …”

The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS): An Interplay between Radio Jets and AGN Radiation in the Radio-quiet AGN HE0040-1105 by M. Singha, N. Winkel, S. Vaddi, M. Perez Torres, M. Gaspari, I. Smirnova-Pinchukova, C. P. O’Dea, F. Combes, Osase Omoruyi, T. Rose, R. McElroy, B. Husemann, T. A. Davis, S. A. Baum, C. Lawlor-Forsyth, J. Neumann, G. R. Tremblay

“…By combining multiwavelength observations from the Very Large Telescope/MUSE, Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3, Very Large Array, and European VLBI Network, we probe the ionization conditions, gas kinematics, and radio emission from host galaxy scales to the central few parsecs. We detect four kinematically distinct components, one of which is a spatially unresolved AGN-driven outflow located within the central 500 pc, where it locally dominates the interstellar medium conditions. …”

North Polar Spur/Loop I: gigantic outskirt of the Northern Fermi bubble or nearby hot gas cavity blown by supernovae? by Lallement, Rosine

“…To an observer at the Sun, both can produce the same perspective view, although the former has a size comparable to the Milky Way itself, and the latter a diameter of a few hundreds parsecs. The energy involved varies by 3-4 orders of magnitude, and the solution has important consequences on the structure and history of our Galactic neighborhood, on the age of the North and South FBs and the activity at the Galactic center. …”

Star formation efficiency along the radio jet in Centaurus A by Salome, Q, Salome, P, Combes, F, Hamer, S, Heywood, I

“…These archival data from GALEX (FUV) and Herschel (IR) show that there is dust and very weak star formation (a few 10-5−10-4M⊙ yr-1) on scales of hundreds of parsecs. NGC 5128 is thus a perfect target for detailed studies of the star formation processes at the interface of the jet/gas interaction. …”
