The PHANGS-Hα survey. Ground-based narrow-band imaging of nearby star-forming galaxies
Alessandro Razza, Guillermo A. Blanc, Brent Groves +36
We present PHANGS-Hα, a narrow-band imaging survey that maps Hα emission over a sample of 65 nearby massive star-forming galaxies. The data were obtained using the MPG-ESO 2.2-me…
Molecular gas and star formation in central rings across nearby galaxies
Damian R. Gleis, Sophia K. Stuber, Eva Schinnerer +20
Nearby galaxies exhibit a variety of structures, including central rings, similar to the MW Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). These rings are common in barred galaxies and can be gas-r…
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…
Discovery of a Giant Molecular Cloud at the Midpoint of the Galactic Bar Dust Lanes: M4.7-0.8
Natalie Butterfield, Larry Morgan, Ashley Barnes +10
We present the detection of a previously unknown giant molecular cloud (GMC) located at the midpoint of the Galactic Bar Dust Lanes (M4.7--0.8), using spectral line observations ta…
