Quantifying the decline in CO(2-1) intensity around PHANGS-HST star clusters: Constraints on molecular gas dispersal, stellar feedback, and cluster formation efficiency

Hao He, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +37

We combine the largest survey of star clusters in nearby galaxies to-date, PHANGS-HST, with maps of molecular gas maps from PHANGS-ALMA to constrain the efficiency of cluster forma…

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…

NOEMA3D: Resolving radial gas flows in disk galaxies at z~1.1-1.6 with high-resolution CO observations

Jean-Baptiste Jolly, Linda J. Tacconi, Reinhard Genzel +34

We present NOEMA3D, a unique high-resolution study of purely molecular gas kinematics at to 1.6, providing a dedicated view of cold gas dynamics at the late stages 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…

The Structure of Molecular Gas in PHANGS-ALMA Galaxies: Cloud Spacing, Two-Point Correlation and Stacked Intensity Profiles

Hao He, Adam Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +21

The sub-kpc scale gas structure encodes key information of giant molecular cloud (GMC) formation. Therefore, we aim for a quantitative description of molecular gas structure across…

NOEMA3D: Extended CO, [C I] and dust in massive star-forming main-sequence galaxies at cosmic noon

Jianhang Chen, Linda J. Tacconi, Reinhard Genzel +34

We present a spatially resolved study of cold molecular gas and dust in ten main-sequence galaxies at z=1.1-1.6, using observations of CO(4-3), CO(3-2), [CI](1-0), and dust continu…
