Distances to PHANGS Galaxies: New Tip of the Red Giant Branch Measurements and Adopted Distances

Gagandeep S. Anand, Janice C. Lee, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +29

PHANGS-HST is an ultraviolet-optical imaging survey of 38 spiral galaxies within ~20 Mpc. Combined with the PHANGS-ALMA, PHANGS-MUSE surveys and other multiwavelength data, the dat…

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…

Ubiquitous velocity fluctuations throughout the molecular interstellar medium

J. D. Henshaw, J. M. D. Kruijssen, S. N. Longmore +23

The density structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) determines where stars form and release energy, momentum, and heavy elements, driving galaxy evolution. Density variations ar…

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…

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…
