Resolving the AGN Feeding and Feedback Cycle with ALMA2040
Ilaria Ruffa, Francesco Salvestrini, Almudena Alonso Herrero +13
Understanding how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow and regulate the growth of their host galaxies requires tracing the cold molecular interstellar medium (ISM) throughout the…
From Scaling Relations to Physical Laws: Constraining the Physics of Star Formation Across Local Galaxies
Jakob den Brok, Cecilia Bacchini, Leindert A. Boogaard +21
The conversion of cold dense gas, traced by molecular line emission, into stars remains one of the fundamental unsolved problems in galaxy evolution. Observations over the past dec…
Molecular atlas of nearby galaxies through sensitive high-resolution multi-band molecular line surveys
Mathilde Bouvier, Erica Behrens, Laura Colzi +21
Star formation and associated feedback processes play a key role in galaxy evolution. Astrochemistry is a powerful tool for characterising the physical conditions of dense star-for…
Resolved Dust-Gas-Metallicity relations in nearby spiral galaxies

We present an overview of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) science potential in the area of extragalactic spectral lines besides 21-cm neutral hydrogen. It highlights…
Recovering the Dust Mass Budget with PRIMA
A. Traina, F. Pozzi, F. Calura +8
Achieving a complete picture of galaxy evolution is a primary goal of extragalactic astrophysics. To accomplish this ambitious task, a wealth of multi-wavelength surveys have been…
Ram-pressure stripped radio tails detected in the dynamically active environment of the Shapley Supercluster
P. Merluzzi, T. Venturi, G. Busarello +13
We study the radio continuum emission of four galaxies experiencing ram-pressure stripping in four clusters of the Shapley supercluster at redshift z~0.05. Multi-band (235-1367 MHz…
Correlations between IR Luminosity, Star Formation Rate, and CO Luminosity in the Local Universe
Matteo Bonato, Ivano Baronchelli, Viviana Casasola +5
We exploit the DustPedia sample of galaxies within approximately 40 Mpc, selecting 388 sources, to investigate the correlations between IR luminosity (L), the star forma…
The impact of stellar bars on star-formation quenching: Insights from a spatially resolved analysis in the local Universe
Letizia Scaloni, Giulia Rodighiero, Andrea Enia +8
Stellar bars are common morphological structures in the local Universe; according to optical and NIR surveys, they are present in about two-thirds of disc galaxies. These elongated…
Ancient stellar populations in the outskirts of nearby grand-design spirals: Investigation of their star formation histories
Cristina Maria Lofaro, Giulia Rodighiero, Andrea Enia +7
The main sequence (MS) of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) is the tight relation between the galaxy stellar mass and its star formation rate (SFR) and was observed up to z ~ 6. The MS…
Modelling molecular clouds and CO excitation in AGN-host galaxies
Federico Esposito, Livia Vallini, Francesca Pozzi +9
We present a new physically-motivated model for estimating the molecular line emission in active galaxies. The model takes into account (i) the internal density structure of giant…
A Bayesian chemical evolution model of the DustPedia Galaxy M74
Francesco Calura, Marco Palla, Laura Morselli +8
We introduce a new, multi-zone chemical evolution model of the DustPedia galaxy M74, calibrated by means of MCMC methods. We take into account the observed stellar and gas density…
The science case and challenges of space-borne sub-millimeter interferometry
