Airborne and space-based low-resolution spectroscopy in the 1980s discovered tantalizing quantitative relationships between the gas phase C/O abundance ratio in planetary nebulae (PNe) and the fractions of total far-infrared luminosity…

We present results on the variation of 7.7 micron Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission in galaxies spanning a wide range in metallicity at z ~ 2. For this analysis, we use rest-frame optical spectra of 476 galaxies at 1.37 < z <…

Utilizing the data and tools provided through the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database (PAHdb), we study the PAH component of over 900 Spitzer-IRS galaxy spectra. Employing a database-fitting approach, the average PAH size, the PAH size…

We present adaptive optics high angular resolution ($\sim0.1\arcsec$) spectroscopic observations in the 3 \um region of eight well known Herbig Ae/Be stars with circumstellar disks. We detect the aromatic emission feature at 3.3 \um for…

The signatures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been observed in protoplanetary discs, and their emission features obtained from spectral energy distributions (SED) have been used in the literature to characterise their size…

We combined mapping-mode mid-infrared Spitzer spectra with complementary infrared imaging to perform a spatially resolved study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emission from the central regions of 66 nearby galaxies, roughly…

We investigate the structure of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 2371 using [OIII]-5007 imaging taken with the Jacobus Kapteyn 1.0 m telescope, and [NII]-6584, [OIII]-5007 and Ha results acquired with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). These…

We use JWST/NIRCam and MIRI imaging acquired by the Feedback in Emerging extrAgalactic Star clusTers (FEAST) program along with archival HST imaging to map ionized gas (Pa$\alpha$, Br$\alpha$, and H$\alpha$) and Polycyclic Aromatic…

We present a new methodology for simulating mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in galaxy evolution simulations. To do this, we combine theoretical models of PAH emission features as they respond to varying…

We analyze JWST spectroscopy of the northwest filament of NGC7023, where the relatively soft radiation field results in a photodissociation region with an extended atomic hydrogen region, and strongly pronounced variations of the…

The mid-infrared (IR; 5-15~$\mu$m) spectrum of a wide variety of astronomical objects exhibits a set of broad emission features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3 and 12.7 $\mu$m. About 30 years ago it was proposed that these signatures are due to…

We present a systematic study of mid-infrared spectra of galaxies including star-forming galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei observed with JWST MIRI-MRS and NIRSpec-IFU. We focus on the relative variations of the 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 11.3, 12.7…

Long-slit 8-13 um spectroscopy of the nebula around NGC 1333 SVS reveals spatial variations in the strength and shape of emission features which are probably produced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Close to SVS 3, the 11.2 um…

We investigate the emergence phase of young star clusters in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 628. We use JWST NIRCam and MIRI observations to create spatially resolved maps of the Pa$\alpha$-1.87 $\mu$m and Br$\alpha$-4.05 $\mu$m hydrogen…

Herbig Ae/Be stars are a class of young pre-main sequence stellar objects of intermediate mass and are known to have varying amounts of natal cloud material still present in their direct vicinity. We characterise the IR emission bands, due…

We present a detailed study on the spatially resolved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission properties in the (circum)nuclear region (NR) and extranuclear regions (ENRs) of M51a using Spitzer-IRS observations. Correlations among…

We present the analysis of Spitzer-IRS spectra of four early-type galaxies, NGC 1297, NGC 5044, NGC 6868, and NGC 7079, all classified as LINERs in the optical bands. Their IRS spectra present the full series of H2 rotational emission lines…

We present mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of HII regions within star-forming galaxies M83 and M33. Their emission features are compared with Galactic and extragalactic HII regions, HII-type galaxies, starburst galaxies, and Seyfert/LINER type…

We study the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) bands, ionic emission lines, and Mid-infrared continuum properties, in a sample of 171 emission line galaxies taken from literature plus 15 new active galactic nuclei (AGN) Spitzer…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous complex molecules in the interstellar medium and are used as an indirect indicator of star-formation. On the other hand the ultraviolet (UV) emission from the young massive stars…
