Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28

It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…

ALMA and VLA Observations of EX Lupi in its Quiescent State

Jacob Aaron White, Á. Kóspál, A. G. Hughes +15

Extreme outbursts in young stars may be a common stage of pre-main-sequence stellar evolution. These outbursts, caused by enhanced accretion and accompanied by increased luminosity…

Molecular Gas Properties on Cloud Scales Across the Local Star-forming Galaxy Population

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer +34

Using the PHANGS-ALMA CO (2-1) survey, we characterize molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across 102,778 independent sightlines in 70 nearby galaxies. This yields th…

Quantitative inference of the column densities from 3 mm molecular emission: A case study towards Orion B

Pierre Gratier, Jérôme Pety, Emeric Bron +21

Molecular hydrogen being unobservable in cold molecular clouds, the column density measurements of molecular gas currently rely either on dust emission observation in the far-IR or…

Tracers of the ionization fraction in dense and translucent gas: I. Automated exploitation of massive astrochemical model grids

Emeric Bron, Evelyne Roueff, Maryvonne Gerin +21

The ionization fraction plays a key role in the physics and chemistry of the neutral interstellar medium, from controlling the coupling of the gas to the magnetic field to allowing…

Ubiquitous velocity fluctuations throughout the molecular interstellar medium

J. D. Henshaw, J. M. D. Kruijssen, S. N. Longmore +23

The density structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) determines where stars form and release energy, momentum, and heavy elements, driving galaxy evolution. Density variations ar…
