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…

Location of the Gamma-Ray Flaring Emission in the Parse-Scale Jet of the BL Lac Object AO 0235+164

Ivan Agudo, Alan P. Marscher, Svetlana G. Jorstad +12

We locate the gamma-ray and lower frequency emission in flares of the BL Lac object AO 0235+164 at >12pc in the jet of the source from the central engine. We employ time-dependent…

A Closer Look at the LkCa 15 Protoplanetary Disk

Sean M. Andrews, Katherine A. Rosenfeld, David J. Wilner +1

We present 870 micron observations of dust continuum emission from the LkCa 15 protoplanetary disk at high angular resolution (with a characteristic scale of 0.25" = 35 AU), obtain…

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…

High-sensitivity search for clumps in the Vega Kuiper-belt. New PdBI 1.3mm observations

Vincent Piétu, Emmanuel Di Folco, Stéphane Guilloteau +2

Previous studies have found that Vega is surrounded by an extended debris disc that is very smooth in the far infrared, but displays possible clumpiness at 850micron and dust emiss…

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…
