From gas to stars along the spiral wave: CO, HCN, and star formation variations across the spiral arms in NGC 4321 and M51

Minou Greve, Lukas Neumann, Mallory Thorp +17

Molecular clouds form stars from the interstellar medium via gravitational collapse, following a sequence from low-density gas to high-density cores and eventually the formation of…

Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN). IV. Extent of active galactic nucleus feedback on the interstellar medium

Mallory D. Thorp, Antonio Usero, Frank Bigiel +19

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are intertwined with galaxy evolution, injecting energy into the interstellar medium (ISM) that could regulate star formation as a galaxy evolves. Howe…

Resolved molecular gas and star-formation in massive unquenched spirals : I. UGC 8179

Romane Cologni, Simon Flesch, Philippe Salomé +7

Recent studies have uncovered a rare population of super-massive (M* > 1e11 Msun) star-forming spiral galaxies, Super Spiral Galaxies (SSGs), whose existence challenges classical q…

Spatial distribution of organics in the Horsehead nebula: Signposts of chemistry driven by atomic carbon

Claudio Hernández-Vera, Viviana V. Guzmán, Jérôme Pety +10

(Abridged) Complex organic molecules (COMs) are considered essential precursors to prebiotic species. While COMs were once expected to be efficiently destroyed under UV-irradiated…

G183: An outer galaxy filament feeding a massive protostar

Bhaswati Mookerjea, Saurav Sen, V. S. Veena +1

We present the first detailed multi-tracer observation of a 5-pc long outer Galaxy filament, G183, and the massive young stellar object (YSO) IRAS 05480+2545 associated with it. Us…
