Using CO line ratios to trace the physical properties of molecular clouds
Camilo H. Peñaloza, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +2
The carbon monoxide (CO) rotational transition lines are the most common tracers of molecular gas within giant molecular clouds (MCs). We study the ratio () between CO…
The turbulent life of dust grains in the supernova-driven, multi-phase interstellar medium
Thomas Peters, Svitlana Zhukovska, Thorsten Naab +6
Dust grains are an important component of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. We present the first direct measurement of the residence times of interstellar dust in the diff…
The IMF as a function of supersonic turbulence
Clio Bertelli Motta, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +2
Recent studies seem to suggest that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in early-type galaxies might be different from a classical Kroupa or Chabrier IMF, i.e. contain a larger…
The SILCC project: III. Regulation of star formation and outflows by stellar winds and supernovae
A. Gatto, S. Walch, T. Naab +9
We study the impact of stellar winds and supernovae on the multi-phase interstellar medium using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations carried out with FLASH. The selected g…
The role of cosmic ray pressure in accelerating galactic outflows
Christine M. Simpson, Ruediger Pakmor, Federico Marinacci +5
We study the formation of galactic outflows from supernova explosions (SNe) with the moving-mesh code AREPO in a stratified column of gas with a surface density similar to the Milk…
Distribution and mass of diffuse and dense CO gas in the Milky Way
Julia Roman-Duval, Mark Heyer, Christopher Brunt +3
Emission from carbon monoxide (CO) is ubiquitously used as a tracer of dense star forming molecular clouds. There is, however, growing evidence that a significant fraction of CO em…
