Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28

It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…

Molecular Gas Properties on Cloud Scales Across the Local Star-forming Galaxy Population

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer +34

Using the PHANGS-ALMA CO (2-1) survey, we characterize molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across 102,778 independent sightlines in 70 nearby galaxies. This yields th…

The 300-pc Scale ALMA View of [CI] -, CO =1-0, and 609 m Dust Continuum in A Luminous Infrared Galaxy

Toshiki Saito, Tomonari Michiyama, Daizhong Liu +7

We present high-quality ALMA Band 8 observations of the [CI] - line and 609 m dust continuum emission toward the nearby luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) IRAS F18293…

Is this an Early Stage Merger? A Case Study on Molecular Gas and Star Formation Properties of Arp 240

Hao He, C. D. Wilson, Kazimierz Sliwa +2

We present new high resolution CO =1-0, =2-1, and CO =1-0 maps of the early stage merger Arp 240 (NGC5257/8) obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submi…

Discovery of a [CI]-faint, CO-bright Galaxy: ALMA Observations of the Merging Galaxy NGC 6052

Tomonari Michiyama, Junko Ueda, Ken-ichi Tadaki +9

We report sensitive [\ion{C}{1}]~-- and CO~=4--3 observations of the nearby merging galaxy NGC 6052 using the Morita (Atacama Compact) Array of ALMA. We det…

PHANGS CO kinematics: disk orientations and rotation curves at 150 pc resolution

Philipp Lang, Sharon E. Meidt, Erik Rosolowsky +24

We present kinematic orientations and high resolution (150 pc) rotation curves for 67 main sequence star-forming galaxies surveyed in CO (2-1) emission by PHANGS-ALMA. Our measurem…

Star formation traced by optical and millimeter hydrogen recombination lines and free-free emissions in the dusty merging galaxy NGC 3256 -- MUSE/VLT and ALMA synergy

Tomonari Michiyama, Daisuke Iono, Kouichiro Nakanishi +5

A galaxy-galaxy merger and the subsequent triggering of starburst activity are fundamental processes linked to the morphological transformation of galaxies and the evolution of sta…

Dynamical Equilibrium in the Molecular ISM in 28 Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eve C. Ostriker +26

We compare the observed turbulent pressure in molecular gas, , to the required pressure for the interstellar gas to stay in equilibrium in the gravitational potent…

A non-corotating gas component in an extreme starburst at z=4.3

Ken-ichi Tadaki, Daisuke Iono, Min S. Yun +8

We report the detection of a non-corotating gas component in a bright unlensed submillimeter galaxy at z=4.3, COSMOS-AzTEC-1, hosting a compact starburst. ALMA 0.17 and 0.09 arcsec…
