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…
Dense gas is not enough: environmental variations in the star formation efficiency of dense molecular gas at 100pc scales in M51
M. Querejeta, E. Schinnerer, A. Schruba +17
It remains unclear what sets the efficiency with which molecular gas transforms into stars. Here we present a new VLA map of the spiral galaxy M51 in 33GHz radio continuum, an exti…
