Dense Gas Fraction and Star Formation Efficiency Variations in the Antennae Galaxies
Frank Bigiel, Adam K. Leroy, Leo Blitz +5
We use the CARMA millimeter interferometer to map the Antennae Galaxies (NGC4038/39), tracing the bulk of the molecular gas via the 12CO(1-0) line and denser molecular gas via the…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury VIII: A Wide-Area, High-Resolution Map of Dust Extinction in M31
Julianne J. Dalcanton, Morgan Fouesneau, David W. Hogg +15
We map the distribution of dust in M31 at 25pc resolution, using stellar photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury. We develop a new mapping technique that models…
The Multi-Phase Cold Fountain in M82 Revealed by a Wide, Sensitive Map of the Molecular ISM
Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter, Paul Martini +7
We present a wide area (~ 8 x 8 kpc), sensitive map of CO (2-1) emission around the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Molecular gas extends far beyond the stellar disk, including emissi…
Variations in the Star Formation Efficiency of the Dense Molecular Gas across the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies
Antonio Usero, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +9
We present a new survey of HCN(1-0) emission, a tracer of dense molecular gas, focused on the little-explored regime of normal star-forming galaxy disks. Combining HCN, CO, and inf…
Heating and cooling of the neutral ISM in the NGC4736 circumnuclear ring
T. P. R. van der Laan, L. Armus, P. Beirao +12
The manner in which gas accretes and orbits within circumnuclear rings has direct implications for the star formation process. In particular, gas may be compressed and shocked at t…
