Photon Dominated Regions in NGC 3603
M. Röllig, C. Kramer, C. Rajbahak +32
Aims: We aim at deriving the excitation conditions of the interstellar gas as well as the local FUV intensities in the molecular cloud surrounding NGC 3603 to get a coherent pictur…
A complete 12CO 2--1 map of M51 with HERA: II. Total gas surface densities and gravitational stability
M. Hitschfeld, C. Kramer, K. F. Schuster +2
To date the onset of large-scale star formation in galaxies and its link to gravitational stability of the galactic disk have not been fully understood. The nearby face-on spiral g…
Submillimeter Line Emission from LMC N159W: a Dense, Clumpy PDR in a Low Metallicity Environment
J. L. Pineda, N. Mizuno, J. Stutzki +30
Star formation at earlier cosmological times takes place in an interstellar medium with low metallicity. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is ideally suited to study star formation…
12CO 4-3 and [CI] 1-0 at the centers of NGC 4945 and Circinus
M. Hitschfeld, M. Aravena, C. Kramer +30
Studying molecular gas in the central regions of the star burst galaxies NGC4945 and Circinus enables us to characterize the physical conditions and compare them to previous local…
Clumpy photon-dominated regions in Carina. I. [CI] and mid-J CO lines in two 4'x4' fields
C. Kramer, M. Cubick, M. Roellig +31
The Carina region is an excellent astrophysical laboratory for studying the feedback mechanisms of newly born, very massive stars within their natal giant molecular clouds (GMCs) a…
Gravitational stability in the disk of M51
M. Hitschfeld, C. Kramer, K. F. Schuster +2
Star formation laws, like i.e. the Schmidt law relating star formation rate and total gas density, have been studied in several spiral galaxies but the underlying physics are not y…
