Gas-phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS) III. Unlocking the CS chemistry: the CS+O reaction

N. Bulut, O. Roncero, A. Aguado +36

CS is among the most abundant gas-phase S-bearing molecules in cold dark molecular clouds. It is easily observable with several transitions in the millimeter wavelength range, and…

Galaxies within galaxies in the TIMER survey: stellar populations of inner bars are scaled replicas of main bars

Adrian Bittner, Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres, Dimitri A. Gadotti +11

Inner bars are frequent structures in the local Universe and thought to substantially influence the nuclear regions of disc galaxies. In this study we explore the structure and dyn…

Distances to PHANGS Galaxies: New Tip of the Red Giant Branch Measurements and Adopted Distances

Gagandeep S. Anand, Janice C. Lee, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +29

PHANGS-HST is an ultraviolet-optical imaging survey of 38 spiral galaxies within ~20 Mpc. Combined with the PHANGS-ALMA, PHANGS-MUSE surveys and other multiwavelength data, the dat…

On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation

Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +23

Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, sup…

A proto-pseudobulge in ESO 320-G030 fed by a massive molecular inflow driven by a nuclear bar

Eduardo González-Alfonso, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Jacqueline Fischer +10

Galaxies with nuclear bars are believed to efficiently drive gas inward, generating a nuclear starburst and possibly an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We confirm this scenario for…

ALMA Resolves Giant Molecular Clouds in a Tidal Dwarf Galaxy

M. Querejeta, F. Lelli, E. Schinnerer +12

Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are gravitationally bound condensations of gas and stars formed during galaxy interactions. Here we present multi-configuration ALMA observations of J10…
