The lifetime of 100,000 molecular clouds in the nearby Universe
Z. Bazzi, M. I. N. Kobayashi, D. Colombo +25
Multiple mechanisms are proposed for the formation of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), from gravitational free-fall caused by self-gravity to stellar feedback-driven gas compression.…
PHANGS-JWST: the largest extragalactic molecular cloud catalog traced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission
Z. Bazzi, D. Colombo, F. Bigiel +25
High-resolution JWST images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission structures that trace molecular gas, including CO-dark regions. We ident…
The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue
A. T. Barnes, R. Chandar, K. Kreckel +38
We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc), based on high-resolution Halp…
The EDGE-CALIFA survey: Star formation relationships for galaxies at different stages of their evolution
D. Colombo, V. Kalinova, Z. Bazzi +13
Galaxy evolution is largely driven by star formation activity or by the cessation of it, also called star formation quenching. In this paper, we present star formation scaling rela…
The EDGE-CALIFA Survey: An integral field unit-based integrated molecular gas database for galaxy evolution studies in the Local Universe
D. Colombo, V. Kalinova, Z. Bazzi +14
Studying galaxy evolution requires knowledge not only of the stellar properties, but also of the interstellar medium (in particular the molecular phase) out of which stars form, us…
The MUSE view of the Sculptor galaxy: survey overview and the planetary nebulae luminosity function
E. Congiu, F. Scheuermann, K. Kreckel +21
NGC 253, the Sculptor galaxy, is the southern, massive, star-forming disk galaxy closest to the Milky Way. In this work, we present a new 103-pointing MUSE mosaic of this galaxy co…
