Do stars still form in molecular gas within CO-dark dwarf galaxies?

David J. Whitworth, Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover +6

In the Milky Way and other main-sequence galaxies, stars form exclusively in molecular gas, which is traced by CO emission. However, low metallicity dwarf galaxies are often `CO-da…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and CO(2-1) Emission at 50-150 pc Scales in 70 Nearby Galaxies

Ryan Chown, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +44

Combining Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array CO(2-1) mapping and JWST near- and mid-infrared imaging, we characterize the relationship between CO(2-1) and polycyclic aro…

McFine: python-based Monte-Carlo multi-component hyperfine structure fitting

Thomas G. Williams, Elizabeth J. Watkins

Modelling complex line emission in the interstellar medium (ISM) is a degenerate, high-dimensional problem. Here, we present McFine, a tool for automated multi-component fitting of…

Evolutionary growth of molecular clouds as traced by their infrared bright fraction

E. J. Watkins, N. Peretto, A. J. Rigby +3

Understanding how stars form, evolve and impact molecular clouds is key to understanding why star formation is such an inefficient process globally. In this paper, we use the infra…

The Fraction of Dust Mass in the Form of PAHs on 10-50 pc Scales in Nearby Galaxies

Jessica Sutter, Karin Sandstrom, Jérémy Chastenet +21

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a ubiquitous component of the interstellar medium (ISM) in z~0 massive, star-forming galaxies and play key roles in ISM energy balance,…

The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): Scientific Motivation and Project Overview

Niv Drory, Guillermo A. Blanc, Kathryn Kreckel +48

We present the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Local Volume Mapper (LVM). The LVM is an integral-field spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way, Magellanic Clouds, and of a sample…
