Giant Molecular Clouds in the Local Group Galaxy M33

P. Gratier, J. Braine, N. J. Rodriguez-Fernandez +7

We present an analysis of the systematic CO(2-1) survey at 12" resolution covering most of the local group spiral M 33 which, at a distance of 840 kpc, is close enough that individ…

A Molecular Star Formation Law in the Atomic Gas Dominated Regime in Nearby Galaxies

Andreas Schruba, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +11

We use the IRAM HERACLES survey to study CO emission from 33 nearby spiral galaxies down to very low intensities. Using atomic hydrogen (HI) data, mostly from THINGS, we predict th…

Star formation in M33 (HerM33es)

C. Kramer, M. Boquien, J. Braine +6

Within the key project "Herschel M33 extended survey" (HerM33es), we are studying the physical and chemical processes driving star formation and galactic evolution in the nearby ga…

A Constant Molecular Gas Depletion Time in Nearby Disk Galaxies

F. Bigiel, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +8

We combine new sensitive, wide-field CO data from the HERACLES survey with ultraviolet and infrared data from GALEX and Spitzer to compare the surface densities of H2, Sigma_H2, an…
