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…

Does the HCN/CO ratio trace the star-forming fraction of gas? II. Variations in CO and HCN Emissivity

Ashley R. Bemis, Christine D. Wilson, Piyush Sharda +2

We model emissivities of the HCN and CO transitions using measured properties of clouds found in normal star forming galaxies and more extreme systems. These models are com…

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…

Unraveling the Mystery of the Low CO-to-H Conversion Factor in Starburst Galaxies: RADEX Modeling of the Antennae

Hao He, Christine D. Wilson, Jiayi Sun +3

CO emission has been widely used as a tracer of molecular gas mass. However, it is a long-standing issue to accurately constrain the CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_{\mathrm{CO}}…

Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351

Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38

We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
