Resolved Measurements of the CO-to-H Conversion Factor in 37 Nearby Galaxies

I-Da Chiang, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jeremy Chastenet +6

We measure the CO-to-H conversion factor () in 37 galaxies at 2~kpc resolution, using dust surface density inferred from far-infrared emission as a tracer of the…

JWST Reveals Star Formation Across a Spiral Arm in M33

J. Peltonen, Erik Rosolowsky, Thomas G. Williams +13

Young stellar objects (YSOs) are the gold standard for tracing star formation in galaxies but have been unobservable beyond the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. But that all change…

Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN)- I. Mapping the HCN and NH 3mm lines

Sophia K. Stuber, Jerome Pety, Eva Schinnerer +17

We present the first results from "Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA" (SWAN), an IRAM Northern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA)+30m large program that maps emission…

Detection of diffuse HI emission in the circumgalactic medium of NGC891 and NGC4565 -- II

Sanskriti Das, Mary Rickel, Adam Leroy +6

We probe the neutral circumgalactic medium (CGM) along the major axes of NGC891 and NGC4565 in 21-cm emission out to kpc using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), extendin…

The EDGE-CALIFA survey: Molecular Gas and Star Formation Activity Across the Green Valley

Vicente Villanueva, Alberto D. Bolatto, Stuart N. Vogel +11

We present a CO(=2-1) survey of 60 local galaxies using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Compact Array as part of the Extragalactic Database for Galax…

A Two-Component Probability Distribution Function Describes the mid-IR Emission from the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies

Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Todd A. Thompson +28

High-resolution JWST-MIRI images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal emission with complex substructures that trace dust heated both by massive young stars and the diffuse interstella…
