A SOFIA Survey of [CII] in the galaxy M51 I. [CII] as a tracer of Star Formation
Jorge L. Pineda, Christian Fischer, Maria Kapala +12
We present a [CII] 158um map of the entire M51 (including M51b) grand--design spiral galaxy observed with the FIFI-LS instrument on SOFIA. We compare the [CII] emission with the to…
The Spatially Resolved Dust-to-Metals Ratio in M101
I-Da Chiang, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jérémy Chastenet +3
The dust-to-metals ratio describes the fraction of the heavy elements contained in dust grains, and its variation provides key insights into the life cycle of dust. We measure the…
The Origins Space Telescope
Cara Battersby, Lee Armus, Edwin Bergin +36
The Origins Space Telescope, one of four large Mission Concept studies sponsored by NASA for review in the 2020 US Astrophysics Decadal Survey, will open unprecedented discovery sp…
Comprehensive comparison of models for spectral energy distributions from 0.1 micron to 1 mm of nearby star-forming galaxies
L. K. Hunt, I. De Looze, M. Boquien +26
We have fit the far-ultraviolet (FUV) to sub-millimeter (850 micron) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the 61 galaxies from the "Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrar…
The Star Formation Efficiency per Free Fall Time in Nearby Galaxies
Dyas Utomo, Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy +16
We estimate the star formation efficiency per gravitational free fall time, , from observations of nearby galaxies with resolution matched to the typical size of a Gian…
HI Kinematics Along The Minor Axis of M82
Paul Martini, Adam K. Leroy, Jeffrey G. Mangum +4
M82 is one of the best studied starburst galaxies in the local universe, and is consequently a benchmark for studying star formation feedback at both low and high redshift. We pres…
