The road toward a full, high resolution Molecular Cloud catalog of the Galaxy
Dario Colombo, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam Ginsburg +2
The statistical description of Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) properties relies heavily on the performance of automatic identification algorithms, which are often seriously affected b…
Graph-based interpretation of the Molecular Interstellar Medium Segmentation
Dario Colombo, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam Ginsburg +2
We present a generalization of the Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) identification problem based on cluster analysis. The method we designed, SCIMES (Spectral Clustering for Interstella…
The Relationship Between Molecular Gas, HI, and Star Formation in the Low-Mass, Low-Metallicity Magellanic Clouds
Katherine E. Jameson, Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam K. Leroy +14
The Magellanic Clouds provide the only laboratory to study the effect of metallicity and galaxy mass on molecular gas and star formation at high (~20 pc) resolution. We use the dus…
Gravitational torques imply molecular gas inflow towards the nucleus of M51
M. Querejeta, S. Meidt, E. Schinnerer +10
The transport of gas towards the centre of galaxies is critical for black hole feeding and, indirectly, it can control active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. We have quantified th…
THOR - The HI, OH, Recombination Line Survey of the Milky Way - The pilot study: HI observations of the giant molecular cloud W43
S. Bihr, H. Beuther, J. Ott +30
To study the atomic, molecular and ionized emission of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), we have initiated a Large Program with the VLA: 'THOR - The HI, OH, Recombination Line survey…
Short GMC lifetimes: an observational estimate with the PdBI Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS)
Sharon E. Meidt, Annie Hughes, Clare L. Dobbs +10
We describe and execute a novel approach to observationally estimate the lifetimes of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We focus on the cloud population between the two main spiral ar…
