Resolved molecular gas and star-formation in massive unquenched spirals : I. UGC 8179

Romane Cologni, Simon Flesch, Philippe Salomé +7

Recent studies have uncovered a rare population of super-massive (M* > 1e11 Msun) star-forming spiral galaxies, Super Spiral Galaxies (SSGs), whose existence challenges classical q…

Multiple-scale gas infall through gravity torques on Milky Way twins

Patrícia da Silva, F. Combes

One of the main problems raised by the feeding of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centres of galaxies is the huge angular momentum of the circumnuclear gas and of the gas r…

Towards sub-kpc scale kinematics of molecular and ionized gas of star-forming galaxies at

M. Girard, M. Dessauges-Zavadsky, F. Combes +4

We compare the molecular and ionized gas kinematics of two strongly lensed galaxies at based on observations from ALMA and MUSE. We derive the CO and [OII] rotation curves…

PHIBSS2: survey design and z=0.5-0.8 results. Molecular gas reservoirs during the winding-down of star formation

J. Freundlich, F. Combes, L. J. Tacconi +29

Following the success of the Plateau de Bure high-z Blue Sequence Survey (PHIBSS), we present the PHIBSS2 legacy program, a survey of the molecular gas properties of star-forming g…

PHIBSS: molecular gas, extinction, star formation and kinematics in the z=1.5 star forming galaxy EGS13011166

R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, J. Kurk +23

We report matched resolution, imaging spectroscopy of the CO J=3-2 line (with the IRAM Plateau de Bure millimeter interferometer) and of the H-alpha line (with LUCI at the Large Bi…

Towards a resolved Kennicutt-Schmidt law at high redshift

J. Freundlich, F. Combes, L. J. Tacconi +16

Massive galaxies in the distant Universe form stars at much higher rates than today. Although direct resolution of the star forming regions of these galaxies is still a challenge,…

PHIBSS: molecular gas content and scaling relations in z~1-3 normal star forming galaxies

L. J. Tacconi, R. Neri, R. Genzel +21

We present PHIBSS, the IRAM Plateau de Bure high-z blue sequence CO 3-2 survey of the molecular gas properties in normal star forming galaxies (SFGs) near the cosmic star formation…

High molecular gas fractions in normal massive star forming galaxies in the young Universe

L. J. Tacconi, R. Genzel, R. Neri +19

Stars form from cold molecular interstellar gas. Since this is relatively rare in the local Universe, galaxies like the Milky Way form only a few new stars per year. Typical massiv…
