PHANGS-Hα provides new narrow-band Hα imaging and derived star formation products for 65 nearby galaxies, validated against MUSE spectroscopy and serving as calibration reference for the PHANGS collaboration.
Cosmic rays heat inner gas clouds in NGC 5728 and boost low-ionization optical and certain mid-IR lines while high-ionization lines remain insensitive, enabling multi-wavelength separation of CR, shock, and metallicity effects.
High CR ionization rates (above 10^-13 s^-1) in AGN and starburst models produce enhanced low-ionization emission that matches observations without super-solar metallicities and suggests revised BPT diagram boundaries.
