The Star Formation Efficiency in Nearby Galaxies: Measuring Where Gas Forms Stars Effectively
Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter, Elias Brinks +4
We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate per unit gas, in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it to expectations from proposed star formation laws and thr…
The Star Formation Law in Nearby Galaxies on Sub-Kpc Scales
Frank Bigiel, Adam Leroy, Fabian Walter +4
(Abridged) We present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between star formation rate surface density (SFR SD) and gas surface density (gas SD) at sub-kpc resolution in a…
THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
F. Walter, E. Brinks, W. J. G. de Blok +4
We present "The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS)", a high spectral (<=5.2 km/s) and spatial (~6") resolution survey of HI emission in 34 nearby galaxies obtained using the NRAO Ver…
Molecular Gas in the Low Metallicity, Star Forming Dwarf IC 10
A. Leroy, A. D. Bolatto, F. Walter +1
We present a complete survey of CO 1->0 emission in the Local Group dwarf irregular IC 10. The survey, conducted with the BIMA interferometer, covers the stellar disk and a large f…
