The Radio Continuum-Star Formation Rate Relation in WSRT SINGS Galaxies
Volker Heesen, Elias Brinks, Adam K. Leroy +4
We study the spatially resolved Radio Continuum-Star Formation Rate (RC-SFR) relation using state-of-the-art star-formation (SF) tracers in a sample of 17 THINGS galaxies. We use h…
Calibrating mid-infrared emission as a tracer of obscured star formation on HII-region scales in the era of JWST
Francesco Belfiore, Adam K. Leroy, Thomas G. Williams +25
Measurements of the star formation activity on cloud scales are fundamental to uncovering the physics of the molecular cloud, star formation, and stellar feedback cycle in galaxies…
Fuelling the nuclear ring of NGC 1097
Mattia C. Sormani, Ashley T. Barnes, Jiayi Sun +24
Galactic bars can drive cold gas inflows towards the centres of galaxies. The gas transport happens primarily through the so-called bar ``dust lanes'', which connect the galactic d…
Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies
Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28
It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…
PHANGS CO kinematics: disk orientations and rotation curves at 150 pc resolution
Philipp Lang, Sharon E. Meidt, Erik Rosolowsky +24
We present kinematic orientations and high resolution (150 pc) rotation curves for 67 main sequence star-forming galaxies surveyed in CO (2-1) emission by PHANGS-ALMA. Our measurem…
The Resolved Behavior of Dust Mass, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fraction, and Radiation Field in ~ 800 Nearby Galaxies
Jérémy Chastenet, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +8
We present resolved m dust spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting for nearby galaxies. We measure the distribution of radiation field intensities heating…
