Molecular outflows in local galaxies: Method comparison and a role of intermittent AGN driving

D. Lutz, E. Sturm, A. Janssen +17

We report new detections and limits from a NOEMA and ALMA CO(1-0) search for molecular outflows in 13 local galaxies with high FIR surface brightness, and combine with results from…

The lifecycle of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alexander P. S. Hygate +29

It remains a major challenge to derive a theory of cloud-scale ( pc) star formation and feedback, describing how galaxies convert gas into stars as a function of the g…

The headlight cloud in NGC 628: An extreme giant molecular cloud in a typical galaxy disk

Cinthya N. Herrera, Jérôme Pety, Annie Hughes +25

Cloud-scale surveys of molecular gas reveal the link between molecular clouds properties and star formation (SF) across a range of galactic environments. Cloud populations in galax…

The Gas-Star Formation Cycle in Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies I. Assessment of Multi-scale Variations

Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes, Adam Leroy +21

The processes regulating star formation in galaxies are thought to act across a hierarchy of spatial scales. To connect extragalactic star formation relations from global and kpc-s…

ALMA images the many faces of the NGC1068 torus and its surroundings

S. Garcia-Burillo, F. Combes, C. Ramos Almeida +18

We investigate the fueling and the feedback of nuclear activity in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068, by studying the distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in the torus and its c…

A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models

J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179

Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…
