Detection of an ultra-bright submillimeter galaxy behind the Small Magellanic Cloud
Tatsuya Takekoshi, Yoichi Tamura, Tetsuhiro Minamidani +21
We report the discovery of a new ultra-bright submillimeter galaxy (SMG) behind the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This SMG is detected as a 43.3+-8.4 mJy point source (MM J01071-73…
The Paα Luminosity Function of HII Regions in Nearby Galaxies from HST/NICMOS
Guilin Liu, Daniela Calzetti, Robert C. Kennicutt +5
The HII region luminosity function (LF) is an important tool for deriving the birthrates and mass distribution of OB associations, and is an excellent tracer of the newly formed ma…
GMC Evolutions in the Nearby Spiral Galaxy M33
Rie E. Miura, Kotaro Kohno, Tomoka Tosaki +13
We present a Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) catalog toward M33, containing 71 GMCs in total, based on wide field and high sensitivity CO(J=3-2) observations with a spatial resolution…
13CO(J=1-0) On-the-fly Mapping of the Giant HII Region NGC 604: Variation in Molecular Gas Density and Temperature due to Sequential Star Formation
Kazuyuki Muraoka, Tomoka Tosaki, Rie Miura +5
We present 13CO(J=1-0) line emission observations with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope toward the giant HII region NGC 604 in the spiral galaxy M 33. We detected 13CO(J=1-0) line emiss…
Deep CO Observations and the CO-to-H_2 Conversion Factor in DDO 154, a Low Metallicity Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
Shinya Komugi, Chikako Yasui, Naoto Kobayashi +4
We present a deep spectroscopic search for CO emission in the dwarf irregular galaxy DDO154, which has an Oxygen abundance of only 1/20 the solar value. The observations were condu…
Determining Star Formation Timescale and Pattern Speed in Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Fumi Egusa, Kotaro Kohno, Yoshiaki Sofue +2
We present a revised method for simultaneous determination of the pattern speed and star formation timescale of spiral galaxies, its application, and results for CO and Ha images o…
