ALMA Reveals the Molecular Medium Fueling the Nearest Nuclear Starburst

Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Eve C. Ostriker +11

We use ALMA to derive the mass, length, and time scales associated with the nuclear starburst in NGC 253. This region forms ~2 M_sun/yr of stars and resembles other starbursts in s…

The Survey of Lines in M31 (SLIM): Investigating the Origins of [CII] Emission

M. J. Kapala, K. Sandstrom, B. Groves +7

The [CII] 158 micron line is one of the strongest emission lines observed in star-forming galaxies, and has been empirically measured to correlate with the star formation rate (SFR…

[CII] 158 m Emission as a Star Formation Tracer

R. Herrera-Camus, A. D. Bolatto, M. G. Wolfire +23

The [CII] 157.74 m transition is the dominant coolant of the neutral interstellar gas, and has great potential as a star formation rate (SFR) tracer. Using the Herschel KINGFISH…

Cool dust heating and temperature mixing in nearby star-forming galaxies

L. K. Hunt, B. T. Draine, S. Bianchi +20

Physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies are closely linked to the ambient radiation field and the heating of dust grains. In order to characterize dust propertie…

Dust and Gas in the Magellanic Clouds from the HERITAGE Herschel Key Project. I. Dust Properties and Insights into the Origin of the Submm Excess Emission

Karl D. Gordon, Julia Roman-Duval, Caroline Bot +33

The dust properties in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are studied using the HERITAGE Herschel Key Project photometric data in five bands from 100 to 500 micron. Three simple…
