The PHANGS-HST-Halpha Survey: Warm Ionized Gas Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS with the Hubble Space Telescope

Rupali Chandar, Ashley T. Barnes, David A. Thilker +36

The PHANGS project is assembling a comprehensive, multi-wavelength dataset of nearby (~5-20 Mpc), massive star-forming galaxies to enable multi-phase, multi-scale investigations in…

Molecular Gas Properties on Cloud Scales Across the Local Star-forming Galaxy Population

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer +34

Using the PHANGS-ALMA CO (2-1) survey, we characterize molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across 102,778 independent sightlines in 70 nearby galaxies. This yields th…

Numerical Simulations of Turbulent, Molecular Clouds Regulated by Radiation Feedback Forces I: Star Formation Rate and Efficiency

Sudhir Raskutti, Eve C. Ostriker, M. Aaron Skinner

Radiation feedback from stellar clusters is expected to play a key role in setting the rate and efficiency of star formation in giant molecular clouds (GMCs). To investigate how ra…

Global Modeling of Spur Formation in Spiral Galaxies

Rahul Shetty, Eve C. Ostriker

We investigate the formation of substructure in spiral galaxies using global MHD simulations, including gas self-gravity. Our models extend previous local models by Kim and Ostrike…

Three-Dimensional Simulations of Parker, Magneto-Jeans, and Swing Instabilities in Shearing Galactic Gas Disks

Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker, James M. Stone

We use 3D MHD simulations to investigate nonlinear development of the Parker, magneto-Jeans (MJI), and swing mechanisms in galactic disks. The model disks are local, isothermal, an…

Formation and Fragmentation of Gaseous Spurs in Spiral Galaxies

Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker

Intermediate-scale spurs are common in spiral galaxies, but perhaps most distinctively evident in a recent HST image of M51 (Scoville & Rector 2001). We investigate, using time-dep…
