A Comparative Study of Giant Molecular Clouds in M51, M33 and the Large Magellanic Cloud
Annie Hughes, Sharon E. Meidt, Dario Colombo +9
We compare the properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M51 identified by the Plateau de Bure Interferometer Whirlpool Arcsecond Survey (PAWS) with GMCs identified in wide-fi…
ALMA Resolves 30 Doradus: Sub-parsec Molecular Cloud Structure Near the Closest Super-Star Cluster
Remy Indebetouw, Crystal Brogan, C. -H. Rosie Chen +15
We present ALMA observations of 30 Doradus -- the highest resolution view of molecular gas in an extragalactic star formation region to date (~0.4pc x 0.6pc). The 30Dor-10 cloud no…
Gas Kinematics on GMC scales in M51 with PAWS: cloud stabilization through dynamical pressure
Sharon E. Meidt, Eva Schinnerer, Santiago Garcia-Burillo +9
We use the high spatial and spectral resolution of the PAWS CO(1-0) survey of the inner 9 kpc of the iconic spiral galaxy M51 to examine the effect of gas streaming motions on the…
Clumping and the Interpretation of kpc-Scale Maps of the Interstellar Medium: Smooth HI and Clumpy, Variable H2 Surface Density
Adam K. Leroy, Cheoljong Lee, Andreas Schruba +6
Many recent models consider the structure of individual interstellar medium (ISM) clouds as a way to explain observations of large parts of galaxies. To compare such models to obse…
The Plateau de Bure + 30m Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey reveals a thick disk of diffuse molecular gas in the M51 galaxy
J. Pety, E. Schinnerer, A. K. Leroy +9
We present the data of the Plateau de Bure Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS), a high spatial and spectral resolution 12CO(1-0) line survey of the inner 10 x 6 kpc of the M51 system…
Probability Distribution Functions OF 12CO(J = 1-0) Brightness and Integrated Intensity in M51: The PAWS View
Annie Hughes, Sharon E. Meidt, Eva Schinnerer +9
We analyse the distribution of CO brightness temperature and integrated intensity in M51 at ~40 pc resolution using new CO data from the Plateau de Bure Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey…
