The Arp 240 Galaxy Merger: A Detailed Look at the Molecular Kennicutt-Schmidt Star Formation Law on Sub-kpc Scales
Alejandro Saravia, Eduardo Rodas-Quito, Loreto Barcos-Muñoz +25
The molecular Kennicutt-Schmidt (mK-S) Law has been key for understanding star formation (SF) in galaxies across all redshifts. However, recent sub-kpc observations of nearby galax…
CO isotopologue-derived molecular gas conditions and CO-to-H conversion factors in M51
Jakob den Brok, María J. Jiménez-Donaire, Adam Leroy +24
Over the past decade, several millimeter interferometer programs have mapped the nearby star-forming galaxy M51 at a spatial resolution of pc. This study combines observ…
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…
Neural Network Constraints on the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate and Other Physical Conditions in NGC 253 with ALCHEMI Measurements of HCN and HNC
Erica Behrens, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Serena Viti +15
We use a neural network model and ALMA observations of HCN and HNC to constrain the physical conditions, most notably the cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR, zeta), in the Central Mo…
The Local Group L-Band Survey: The First Measurements of Localized Cold Neutral Medium Properties in the Low-Metallicity Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822
Nickolas M. Pingel, Hongxing Chen, Snežana Stanimirović +15
Measuring the properties of the cold neutral medium (CNM) in low-metallicity galaxies provides insight into heating and cooling mechanisms in early Universe-like environments. We r…
Neutral atomic and molecular gas dynamics in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 1512, NGC 4535, and NGC 7496
Sebastian Laudage, Cosima Eibensteiner, Frank Bigiel +20
Neutral atomic gas (HI) effectively traces galactic dynamics across mid to large galactocentric radii. However, its limitations in observing small-scale changes within the central…
PHANGS-MeerKAT and MHONGOOSE HI observations of nearby spiral galaxies: physical drivers of the molecular gas fraction,
Cosima Eibensteiner, Jiayi Sun, Frank Bigiel +36
The molecular-to-atomic gas ratio is crucial to the evolution of the interstellar medium in galaxies. We investigate the balance between the atomic () and molecular gas…
A 260 pc resolution ALMA map of HCN(1-0) in the galaxy NGC 4321
Lukas Neumann, Frank Bigiel, Ashley T. Barnes +24
The star formation rate (SFR) is tightly connected to the amount of dense gas in molecular clouds. However, it is not fully understood how the relationship between dense molecular…
The properties and kinematics of HCN emission across the closest starburst galaxy NGC 253 observed with ALMA
Ivana Beslic, Ashley T. Barnes, Frank Bigiel +21
Studying molecular gas in nearby galaxies using hydrogen cyanide (HCN) as a tracer for higher densities than CO emission still poses a significant challenge. Even though several ga…
PHANGS-JWST: Data Processing Pipeline and First Full Public Data Release
Thomas G. Williams, Janice C. Lee, Kirsten L. Larson +55
The exquisite angular resolution and sensitivity of JWST is opening a new window for our understanding of the Universe. In nearby galaxies, JWST observations are revolutionizing ou…
