Multi-scale Gas Structure and Dynamics in an Extragalactic Central Molecular Zone
Liam M. Wang, Jiayi Sun, Yu-Hsuan Teng +4
The structures and dynamics of the interstellar medium are governed by a combination of self-gravity, external gravity, and various sources of ordered and random motions on differe…
Modeling the Mass Distribution and Gravitational Potential of Nearby Disk Galaxies: Implications for the ISM Dynamical Equilibrium
Vivek Vijayakumar, Jiayi Sun, Eve C. Ostriker +5
We characterize stellar, gas, and dark matter mass distributions for 17 nearby massive disk galaxies from the PHANGS sample. This allows us to compute the gravitational potential t…
The Impact of Shear on Disk Galaxy Star Formation Rates
Xena L. Fortune-Bashee, Jiayi Sun, Jonathan C. Tan
Determining the physical processes that control galactic-scale star formation rates is essential for an improved understanding of galaxy evolution. The role of orbital shear is cur…
