ALMA Resolves Giant Molecular Clouds in a Tidal Dwarf Galaxy

M. Querejeta, F. Lelli, E. Schinnerer +12

Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are gravitationally bound condensations of gas and stars formed during galaxy interactions. Here we present multi-configuration ALMA observations of J10…

Dense gas is not enough: environmental variations in the star formation efficiency of dense molecular gas at 100pc scales in M51

M. Querejeta, E. Schinnerer, A. Schruba +17

It remains unclear what sets the efficiency with which molecular gas transforms into stars. Here we present a new VLA map of the spiral galaxy M51 in 33GHz radio continuum, an exti…

Outflow of hot and cold molecular gas from the obscured secondary nucleus of NGC3256: closing in on feedback physics

Bjorn Emonts, Javier Piqueras-Lopez, Luis Colina +5

The nuclei of merging galaxies are often deeply buried in dense layers of gas and dust. In these regions, gas outflows driven by starburst and AGN activity are believed to play a c…
