The PHANGS-MUSE survey -- Probing the chemo-dynamical evolution of disc galaxies

Eric Emsellem, Eva Schinnerer, Francesco Santoro +45

We present the PHANGS-MUSE survey, a programme using the MUSE IFS at the ESO VLT to map 19 massive nearby (D < 20 Mpc) star-forming disc galaxi…

Low-J CO Line Ratios From Single Dish CO Mapping Surveys and PHANGS-ALMA

Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky, Antonio Usero +32

We measure the low-J CO line ratio R21=CO(2-1)/CO(1-0), R32=CO(3-2)/CO(2-1), and R31 = CO(3-2)/CO(1-0) using whole-disk CO maps of nearby galaxies. We draw CO(2-1) from PHANGS--ALM…

Stellar structures, molecular gas, and star formation across the PHANGS sample of nearby galaxies

M. Querejeta, E. Schinnerer, S. Meidt +32

We identify stellar structures in the PHANGS sample of 74 nearby galaxies and construct morphological masks of sub-galactic environments based on Spitzer 3.6 micron images. At the…

Dense molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across the disc of NGC 3627

I. Bešlić, A. T. Barnes, F. Bigiel +29

It is still poorly constrained how the densest phase of the interstellar medium varies across galactic environment. A large observing time is required to recover significant emissi…

NOEMA High Fidelity Imaging of the Molecular Gas in and around M82

Nico Krieger, Fabian Walter, Alberto D. Bolatto +11

We present a 154 pointing IRAM NOEMA mosaic of the CO(1-0) line emission in and around the nearby starburst galaxy M82. The observations, complemented by zero--spacing observations…

PHANGS-ALMA: Arcsecond CO(2-1) Imaging of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies

Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +69

We present PHANGS-ALMA, the first survey to map CO J=2-1 line emission at ~1" ~ 100pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d<~20 Mpc) galaxies that lie on…
