Published purpose

This project will use JWST/MIRI and NIRCam to map the edge-on galaxy NGC 4565, resolving its vertical PAH, dust and star formation structure at <20 pc resolution. Covering the full disk out to 30 kpc, the study will test models of galactic self-regulation and reveal whether giant interstellar filaments and vertical ISM structures seen in the Milky Way are common in other galaxies.
