Are all starbursts equal? Star-formation-rate profiles in merger versus secular starbursts

Mallory D. Thorp, Sara L. Ellison, Ana Galicia

Galaxy interactions can trigger drastic changes in the resolved star-forming properties of their constituents, but it remains unclear as to whether those changes are discernible fr…

The infrared luminosity of retired and post-starburst galaxies: A cautionary tale for star formation rate measurements

Vivienne Wild, Natalia Vale Asari, Kate Rowlands +3

In galaxies with significant ongoing star formation there is an impressively tight correlation between total infrared luminosity (L) and H luminosity (L), when H$…

The molecular gas content throughout the low-z merger sequence

Mark T. Sargent, S. L. Ellison, J. T. Mendel +5

Exploiting IRAM 30m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50%, a mildly higher CO excitation, and standar…

Correction to Conversions between gas-phase metallicities in MaNGA

Jillian M. Scudder, Sara L. Ellison, Loubna El Meddah El Idrissi +1

We present a brief correction to Scudder et al. (2021) due to an error in the O3N2 based metallicity calibrations presented in that work. Conclusions are unchanged, but metallicity…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XV: The Dependence of the Molecular-to-Atomic Gas Ratios on Resolved Optical Diagnostics

Niankun Yu, Zheng Zheng, Chao-Wei Tsai +14

The atomic-to-molecular gas conversion is a critical step in the baryon cycle of galaxies, which sets the initial conditions for subsequent star formation and influences the multi-…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XIII: Understanding radial trends in star formation quenching via the relative roles of gas availability and star formation efficiency

Hsi-An Pan, Lihwai Lin, Sara L. Ellison +7

Star formation quenching is one of the key processes that shape the evolution of galaxies. In this study, we investigate the changes in molecular gas and star formation properties…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XII: Dense Molecular Gas as traced by HCN and HCO in Green Valley Galaxies

Lihwai Lin, Hsi-An Pan, Sara L. Ellison +11

We present ALMA observations of two dense gas tracers, HCN(1-0) and HCO(1-0), for three galaxies in the green valley and two galaxies on the star-forming main sequence with c…
