The Radio Spectral Energy Distribution and Star Formation Rate Calibration in Galaxies

F. S. Tabatabaei, E. Schinnerer, M. Krause +17

We study the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the radio continuum emission from the KINGFISH sample of nearby galaxies to understand the energetics and origin of this emission…

PHIBSS: Exploring the Dependence of the CO-H Conversion Factor on Total Mass Surface Density at

Timothy Carleton, Michael C. Cooper, Alberto D. Bolatto +10

We present an analysis of the relationship between the CO-H conversion factor () and total mass surface density () in star-forming galaxies at $z < 1…

The Spatially Resolved [CII] Cooling Line Deficit in Galaxies

J. D. T. Smith, Kevin Croxall, Bruce Draine +17

We present [CII] 158um measurements from over 15,000 resolved regions within 54 nearby galaxies of the KINGFISH program to investigate the so-called [CII] "line cooling deficit" lo…

The Molecular Clouds Fueling a 1/5 Solar Metallicity Starburst

Amanda A. Kepley, Adam K. Leroy, Kelsey E. Johnson +2

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, we have made the first high spatial and spectral resolution observations of the molecular gas and dust in the prototypical b…

A Portrait of Cold Gas in Galaxies at 60pc Resolution and a Simple Method to Test Hypotheses That Link Small-Scale ISM Structure to Galaxy-Scale Processes

Adam K. Leroy, Annie Hughes, Andreas Schruba +14

The cloud-scale density, velocity dispersion, and gravitational boundedness of the interstellar medium (ISM) vary within and among galaxies. In turbulent models, these properties p…
