The Milky Way Joins the Extragalactic World: I. PHANGS
Neal J. Evans, Davide Elia, Jiayi Sun +2
Complete catalogs of molecular clouds in the Milky Way allow analysis of the molecular medium and the star formation properties of the Milky Way that closely follows the method use…
JWST Whirlpool Galaxy Treasury: Mid-Infrared Emission in M51 and its Relation to Gas Column and Star Formation
Mansi Padave, Karin M. Sandstrom, Daniel A. Dale +25
Using JWST/MIRI imaging of M51 in eight broadband filters, we investigate correlations of mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dust continuum with…
A steep mass transition for bar-driven ISM structuring revealed by PHANGS-JWST
Eric Emsellem, Jessica Sutter, Ryan Chown +26
Galactic bars play a critical role in the secular evolution of their hosts by reorganising the ISM. We use a sample of 57 star-forming disc galaxies observed with JWST at 3 and 7.7…
Suppression of star formation at the centre of barred AGN galaxies
Takashi Yamamoto, Nario Kuno, Daisuke Iono +5
We measured the Concentration (C) index of Hαand CO (J = 2-1) in 17 nearby star-forming galaxies from the PHANGS survey. We have found four barred spiral galaxies with a C(Hα)/C(CO…
From gas to stars along the spiral wave: CO, HCN, and star formation variations across the spiral arms in NGC 4321 and M51
Minou Greve, Lukas Neumann, Mallory Thorp +17
Molecular clouds form stars from the interstellar medium via gravitational collapse, following a sequence from low-density gas to high-density cores and eventually the formation of…
The lifetime of 100,000 molecular clouds in the nearby Universe
Z. Bazzi, M. I. N. Kobayashi, D. Colombo +25
Multiple mechanisms are proposed for the formation of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), from gravitational free-fall caused by self-gravity to stellar feedback-driven gas compression.…
