JWST Discovery of Warm Dust in the Circumgalactic Medium of the Makani Galaxy

JWST Discovery of Warm Dust in the Circumgalactic Medium of the Makani Galaxy

We report the detection of near- and mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) out to ∼35 kpc in the Makani Galaxy, a compact massive galaxy with a record-breaking 100 kpc scale starburst-driven wind at redshift z = 0.459. The NIRCam and MIRI observations with JWST take adva...
