Towards a multi-tracer timeline of star formation in the LMC -- I.\ Deriving the lifetimes of H\,{\sc i} clouds

Jacob L. Ward, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +3

The time-scales associated with the various stages of the star formation process remain poorly constrained. This includes the earliest phases of star formation, during which molecu…

When Gas Dynamics Decouples from Galactic Rotation: Characterizing ISM Circulation in Disk Galaxies

Jose Utreras, Guillermo A. Blanc, Andres Escala +10

In galactic disks, galactic rotation sets the bulk motion of gas, and its energy and momentum can be transferred toward small scales. Additionally, in the interstellar medium, rand…

The lifecycle of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alexander P. S. Hygate +29

It remains a major challenge to derive a theory of cloud-scale ( pc) star formation and feedback, describing how galaxies convert gas into stars as a function of the g…

The headlight cloud in NGC 628: An extreme giant molecular cloud in a typical galaxy disk

Cinthya N. Herrera, Jérôme Pety, Annie Hughes +25

Cloud-scale surveys of molecular gas reveal the link between molecular clouds properties and star formation (SF) across a range of galactic environments. Cloud populations in galax…

The Gas-Star Formation Cycle in Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies I. Assessment of Multi-scale Variations

Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes, Adam Leroy +21

The processes regulating star formation in galaxies are thought to act across a hierarchy of spatial scales. To connect extragalactic star formation relations from global and kpc-s…

Fast and inefficient star formation due to short-lived molecular clouds and rapid feedback

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Andreas Schruba, Mélanie Chevance +7

The physics of star formation and the deposition of mass, momentum, and energy into the interstellar medium by massive stars (`feedback') are the main uncertainties in modern cosmo…
