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…
LCDM Satellites and HI Companions - The Arecibo ALFA Survey of NGC 2903
J. A. Irwin, G. L. Hoffman, K. Spekkens +11
We have conducted a deep, complete HI survey, using Arecibo/ALFA, of a field centered on the nearby, isolated galaxy, NGC 2903, which is similar to the Milky Way in its properties.…
