Quantifying the decline in CO(2-1) intensity around PHANGS-HST star clusters: Constraints on molecular gas dispersal, stellar feedback, and cluster formation efficiency

Hao He, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +37

We combine the largest survey of star clusters in nearby galaxies to-date, PHANGS-HST, with maps of molecular gas maps from PHANGS-ALMA to constrain the efficiency of cluster forma…

From gas to stars along the spiral wave: CO, HCN, and star formation variations across the spiral arms in NGC 4321 and M51

Minou Greve, Lukas Neumann, Mallory Thorp +17

Molecular clouds form stars from the interstellar medium via gravitational collapse, following a sequence from low-density gas to high-density cores and eventually the formation of…

Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN). IV. Extent of active galactic nucleus feedback on the interstellar medium

Mallory D. Thorp, Antonio Usero, Frank Bigiel +19

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are intertwined with galaxy evolution, injecting energy into the interstellar medium (ISM) that could regulate star formation as a galaxy evolves. Howe…

The Structure of Molecular Gas in PHANGS-ALMA Galaxies: Cloud Spacing, Two-Point Correlation and Stacked Intensity Profiles

Hao He, Adam Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +21

The sub-kpc scale gas structure encodes key information of giant molecular cloud (GMC) formation. Therefore, we aim for a quantitative description of molecular gas structure across…

Masses, Star-Formation Efficiencies, and Dynamical Evolution of 18,000 HII Regions

Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Ashley. T. Barnes +36

We present measurements of the masses associated with HII regions across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies by combining data from JWST, HST, MUSE, ALMA, VLA, and MeerKAT…

The Hierarchical Dynamical State of Molecular Gas from 3 to 300 pc in NGC 253

Elias K. Oakes, Christopher M. Faesi, Erik Rosolowsky +25

Understanding how the dynamical state of the interstellar medium (ISM) changes across spatial scales can provide important insights into how the gas is organized and ultimately col…

Cloud populations versus galactic environment in NGC4689, NGC628, NGC1566, and NGC4321

H. Faustino Vieira, A. Duarte-Cabral, M. W. L. Smith +3

The study of molecular clouds in galaxies beyond the Local Group is limited by the need to efficiently sample diverse galactic environments across galactic discs, typically resulti…

Dynamical resonances in PHANGS galaxies

Marina Ruiz-García, Miguel Querejeta, Santiago García-Burillo +13

Bars are remarkable stellar structures that can transport gas toward centers and drive the secular evolution of galaxies. In this context, it is important to locate dynamical reson…

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…
