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…
First Results from THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
W. J. G. de Blok, F. Walter, E. Brinks +2
We describe The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS), the largest program ever undertaken at the VLA to perform 21-cm HI observations of the highest quality (~7'', <= 5 km/s resolution…
X-ray Emission from an Expanding Supergiant Shell in IC 2574
Fabian Walter, Jürgen Kerp, Neb Duric +2
We present a multi--wavelength study of a supergiant shell within the violent interstellar medium of the nearby dwarf galaxy IC 2574, a member of the M81 group of galaxies. Neutral…
