The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey I. Star Forming Molecular Gas in Virgo Cluster Spiral Galaxies
C. D. Wilson, B. E. Warren, F. P. Israel +20
We present large-area maps of the CO J=3-2 emission obtained at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope for four spiral galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. We combine these data with publishe…
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…
