Thermodynamics of Giant Molecular Clouds: The Effects of Dust Grain Size by Nadine H. Soliman, Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. Grudić

“…Motivated by this, we investigate the effects of similar GSD variations on the thermochemistry and evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) using magnetohydrodynamic simulations spanning a range of cloud masses and grain sizes, which explicitly incorporate the dynamics of dust grains within the full-physics framework of the STARFORGE project. …”

The H2 Glow of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud Observed with JWST by Paul F. Goldsmith, Shengzhe Wang, Xin Wang, Raphael Skalidis, Gary A. Fuller, Di Li, Chao-Wei Tsai, Lile Wang, Donghui Quan

“…We report JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the H _2 S (1) 17.04 μ m transition in two regions in the boundary of the Taurus molecular cloud. The two regions, denoted “Edge” (near the relatively sharp boundary of the ^13 CO J  = 1 → 0 emission) and “Peak” (the location of the strongest H _2 emission observed with Spitzer), have average intensities of 14.5 and 32.1 MJy sr ^−1 , respectively. …”

Exploring the Wolf Approach to Constraining NIR Extinction Laws in the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud by Botao Jiang, Jun Li, Xi Chen

“…The viability of the star count (Wolf) method is assessed as a means of constraining the near-infrared (NIR) extinction law toward the Corona Australis molecular cloud. Using deep JHK _S photometry from the VISIONS survey, extinction maps with 1′ spatial resolution are constructed. …”
