TOWARD A UNIFICATION OF STAR FORMATION RATE DETERMINATIONS IN THE MILKY WAY AND OTHER GALAXIES (2011, methodology): “Instead, we interpolate the global SED presented by Povich et al. (2007) over the range of 20 to 60 µm and compute the 24 µm flux density, Fν(24) (see Figure 2a).”
The Bubbling Galactic Disk. II. The Inner 20° (2007, background): “Based on these observed systematic morphological properties, Paper I, Povich et al. (2007), and Watson et al. (2007) concluded that: (1) dust exists inside H ii regions as shown by 24 m emission lying well inside the H ii I-front, (2) features generally attributed to PAHs are destroyed inside…”
STAR FORMATION IN THE CENTRAL 400 PC OF THE MILKY WAY: EVIDENCE FOR A POPULATION OF MASSIVE YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS (2009, background): “The 24µm excess (or 8µm deficit) can be accounted for by the destruction of PAHs by local sources of UV radiation or shocks (Watson et al. 2008; Churchwell et al. 2007; Povich et al. 2007).”
The Milky Way Project First Data Release: a bubblier Galactic disc (2012, background): “This qualitative pattern of bright 8 µm emission shells surrounding regions of bright 24 µm/radio emission is also characteristic of giant Galactic H ii regions and extragalactic starforming regions (e.g. Povich et al. 2007; Bendo et al. 2008; Relaño & Kennicutt 2009; Flagey et al. 2011).”
Modeling the Pan-Spectral Energy Distribution of Starburst Galaxies. IV. The Controlling Parameters of the Starburst SED (2007, background): “…observational evidence that PAHs are destroyed within the ionized parts of the H ii region complexes, with Spitzer observations of galactic H ii regions showing clear boundaries between the outer PDR PAH emitting zone and the inner photoionized zone (eg Churchwell et al. 2006; Povich et al. 2007).”
A gallery of bubbles. The nature of the bubbles observed by Spitzer and what ATLASGAL tells us about the surrounding neutral material (2010, result): “The bubble N15 lies on the border of M17, an extremely luminous massive star-formation region.”
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon processing in a hot gas (2009, unknown): “Bright 8µm emission has been observed by IRAC/Spitzer associated with the X-ray emission from the stellar winds of the ionizing stars in the M 17 Hii region (Povich et al. 2007).”
Variations of the Mid-IR Aromatic Features inside and among Galaxies (2008, background): “…evolved stars (e.g., Blommaert et al. 2005; Kraemer et al. 2006), the cool interstellar medium (ISM; e.g., Abergel et al. 2005; Flagey et al. 2006; Povich et al. 2007), as well as whole galaxies (e.g., Verma et al. 2005; Smith et al. 2007) that have been extensively observed by the Infrared Space…”
