Molecular Gas Structure and Star Formation Diversity in Stephan's Quintet Revealed by ACA CO(1-0) Mapping

Misaki Yamamoto, Fumiya Maeda, Kazuyuki Muraoka +10

We present CO(1-0) mapping across the entire system of Stephan's Quintet, a well-known compact galaxy group, observed by Atacama Compact Array (7\,m array + Total Power) of…

Discovery of CO Clouds Associated with the X-ray Jets of SS 433: Evidence for Shock-Cloud Interaction Enhancing Nonthermal X-ray Emission

Haruka Sakemi, Hidetoshi Sano, Yasuo Fukui +7

We report the first identification of molecular clumps directly associated with the re-brightening regions of the large-scale X-ray jets of SS 433, based on CO ( = 1--0)…

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.…

Spatially and Dynamically Extended Molecular Gas in Stephan's Quintet Revealed by ALMA CO(1-0) Total Power Mapping

Fumiya Maeda, Shinya Komugi, Kazuyuki Muraoka +15

We present ALMA Total Power CO(1-0) mapping of Stephan's Quintet (SQ), a prototypical compact galaxy group, with a uniform noise level at a spatial scale of ~25 kpc. These observat…

Galactic structure dependence of cloud-cloud collisions driven star formation in the barred galaxy NGC 3627

Fumiya Maeda, Kouji Ohta, Fumi Egusa +4

While cloud-cloud collisions (CCCs) have been proposed as a mechanism for triggering massive star formation, it is suggested that higher collision velocities () and lo…

Isolated Black Holes as Potential PeVatrons and Ultrahigh-energy Gamma-ray Sources

Shigeo S. Kimura, Kengo Tomida, Masato I. N. Kobayashi +2

The origin of PeV cosmic rays is a long-standing mystery, and ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray observations would play a crucial role in identifying it. Recently, LHAASO reported the dis…

Molecular cloud matching in CO and dust in M33 II. Physical properties of giant molecular clouds

Eduard Keilmann, Slawa Kabanovic, Nicola Schneider +8

Understanding mass, size, and surface mass density of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in galaxies is key to insights into star formation processes. We analyze these in M33 using Hers…

Whole-disk sampling of molecular clouds in M83

Akihiko Hirota, Jin Koda, Fumi Egusa +17

We present a catalog of clouds identified from the CO (1--0) data of M83, which was observed using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) with a spatial resolut…

ACA CO(J=2-1) Mapping of the Nearest Spiral Galaxy M33. II. Exploring the Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds

Ayu Konishi, Kazuyuki Muraoka, Kazuki Tokuda +12

The evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), the main sites of high-mass star formation, is an essential process to unravel the galaxy evolution. Using a GMC catalogue of M33 fr…

A Giant Molecular Cloud Catalog in the Molecular Disk of the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A)

E. R. Miura, D. Espada, A. Hirota +17

We present the first census of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) complete down to 10 and within the inner 4 kpc of the nearest giant elliptical and powerful radio galaxy,…
