A High-Resolution, Dust-Selected Molecular Cloud Catalogue of M33, the Triangulum Galaxy

Thomas G. Williams, Walter K. Gear, Matthew W. L. Smith

We present a catalogue of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in M33, extracted from cold dust continuum emission. Our GMCs are identified by computing dendrograms. We measure the spatia…

The Fornax 3D project: dust mix and gas properties in the center of early-type galaxy FCC 167

S. Viaene, M. Sarzi, N. Zabel +15

Galaxies continuously reprocess their interstellar material. One can therefore expect changing dust grain properties in galaxies which have followed different evolutionary pathways…

Dust emission profiles of DustPedia galaxies

A. V. Mosenkov, M. Baes, S. Bianchi +19

Most radiative transfer models assume that dust in spiral galaxies is distributed exponentially. In this paper our goal is to verify this assumption by analysing the two-dimensiona…

Bipolar H{\sc ii} regions produced by cloud/cloud collisions

Anthony Whitworth, Oliver Lomax, Scott Balfour +3

We suggest that Bipolar H{\sc ii} Regions may be the aftermath of collisions between clouds. Such a collision will produce a shock-compressed layer, and a star cluster can then con…

A simple approach to CO cooling in molecular clouds

A. P. Whitworth, S. E. Jaffa

CO plays an important role in interstellar molecular clouds, both as a coolant, and as a diagnostic molecule. However, a proper evaluation of the cooling rate due to CO requires a…

ALMA observations of massive molecular gas reservoirs in dusty early-type galaxies

A. E. Sansom, D. H. W. Glass, G. J. Bendo +9

Unresolved gas and dust observations show a surprising diversity in the amount of interstellar matter in early-type galaxies. Using ALMA observations we resolve the ISM in z0…

The ALMA Fornax Cluster Survey I: stirring and stripping of the molecular gas in cluster galaxies

Nikki Zabel, Timothy A. Davis, Matthew W. L. Smith +15

We present the first results of the ALMA Fornax Cluster Survey (AlFoCS): a complete ALMA survey of all members of the Fornax galaxy cluster that were detected in HI or in the far i…

A Catalogue of Galactic Supernova Remnants in the far-infrared: revealing ejecta dust in pulsar wind nebulae

Hannah Chawner, Ken Marsh, Mikako Matsuura +7

We search for far-infrared (FIR) counterparts of known supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galactic plane (10 deg <| l |< 60 deg) at 70-500 micron using the Herschel Infrared Galactic…

The Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Molecular Gas Properties

Hsi-An Pan, Lihwai Lin, Bau-Ching Hsieh +26

Galaxy interactions are often accompanied by an enhanced star formation rate (SFR). Since molecular gas is essential for star formation, it is vital to establish whether, and by ho…

Science with an ngVLA: Precision Gas-dynamical Mass Measurement of Supermassive Black Holes with the ngVLA

Benjamin D. Boizelle, Kristina Nyland, Timothy A. Davis

Emission line observations of circumnuclear gas disks in the ALMA era have begun to resolve molecular gas tracer kinematics near supermassive black holes (BHs), enabling highly pre…

Detection of a high-mass prestellar core candidate in W43-MM1

T. Nony, F. Louvet, F. Motte +11

Aims. To constrain the physical processes that lead to the birth of high-mass stars it is mandatory to study the very first stages of their formation. We search for high-mass analo…

Evolution of the cold gas properties of simulated post-starburst galaxies

Timothy A. Davis, Freeke van de Voort, Kate Rowlands +3
