From gas to stars along the spiral wave: CO, HCN, and star formation variations across the spiral arms in NGC 4321 and M51
Minou Greve, Lukas Neumann, Mallory Thorp +17
Molecular clouds form stars from the interstellar medium via gravitational collapse, following a sequence from low-density gas to high-density cores and eventually the formation of…
Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN). IV. Extent of active galactic nucleus feedback on the interstellar medium
Mallory D. Thorp, Antonio Usero, Frank Bigiel +19
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are intertwined with galaxy evolution, injecting energy into the interstellar medium (ISM) that could regulate star formation as a galaxy evolves. Howe…
The Structure of Molecular Gas in PHANGS-ALMA Galaxies: Cloud Spacing, Two-Point Correlation and Stacked Intensity Profiles
Hao He, Adam Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +21
The sub-kpc scale gas structure encodes key information of giant molecular cloud (GMC) formation. Therefore, we aim for a quantitative description of molecular gas structure across…
The Hierarchical Dynamical State of Molecular Gas from 3 to 300 pc in NGC 253
Elias K. Oakes, Christopher M. Faesi, Erik Rosolowsky +25
Understanding how the dynamical state of the interstellar medium (ISM) changes across spatial scales can provide important insights into how the gas is organized and ultimately col…
Masses, Star-Formation Efficiencies, and Dynamical Evolution of 18,000 HII Regions
Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Ashley. T. Barnes +36
We present measurements of the masses associated with HII regions across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies by combining data from JWST, HST, MUSE, ALMA, VLA, and MeerKAT…
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and CO(2-1) Emission at 50-150 pc Scales in 70 Nearby Galaxies
Ryan Chown, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +44
Combining Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array CO(2-1) mapping and JWST near- and mid-infrared imaging, we characterize the relationship between CO(2-1) and polycyclic aro…
