The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor and Dust-to-Gas Ratio on Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies

K. M. Sandstrom, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +42

We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneo…

Chemistry in Disks VIII: the CS molecule as an analytic tracer of turbulence in disks

S. Guilloteau, A. Dutrey, V. Wakelam +5

Turbulence is thought to be a key driver of the evolution of protoplanetary disks, regulating the mass accretion process, the transport of angular momentum, and the growth of dust…

A detailed view of a Molecular Cloud in the far outer disk of M33

J. Braine, P. Gratier, Y. Contreras +2

The amount of H present in spiral galaxies remains uncertain, particularly in the dim outer regions and in low-metallicity environments. We present high-resolution CO(1--0) obs…

An ALMA survey of Sub-millimetre Galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: Detection of [C II] at z=4.4

Mark Swinbank, Alexander Karim, Ian Smail +19

We present ALMA 870-um (345GHz) observations of two sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) drawn from an ALMA study of the 126 sub-millimeter sources from the LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep…

CN Zeeman observations of the NGC 2264-C protocluster

Anaëlle J. Maury, Helmut Wiesemeyer, Clemens Thum

From an observational point of view, the role of magnetic fields in star formation remains unclear, and two main theoretical scenarios have been proposed so far to regulate the sta…

Millimeter imaging of submillimeter galaxies in the COSMOS field: Redshift distribution

V. Smolcic, M. Aravena, F. Navarrete +21

We present new IRAM PdBI 1.3mm continuum observations at ~1.5" resolution of 28 SMGs previously discovered with the 870um bolometer LABOCA at APEX within the central 0.7deg2 of the…

The Intense Starburst HDF850.1 in a Galaxy Overdensity at z=5.2 in the Hubble Deep Field

Fabian Walter, R. Decarli, C. Carilli +24

The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is a region in the sky that provides one of the deepest multi-wavelength views of the distant universe and has led to the detection of thousands of gala…
