MAUVE-MUSE: Ionization and Kinematic Signatures of Environmental Effects on Virgo Cluster Disks
Toby Brown, Luca Cortese, Barbara Catinella +18
We present early science results from the MAUVE (Multiphase Astrophysics to Unveil the Virgo Environment) program which targets 40 Virgo Cluster galaxies to investigate the effect…
VERTICO IX: Signatures of environmental processing of the gas in Virgo cluster spiral galaxies through mapping of CO isotopologues
Timothy A. Davis, Toby Brown, Maria J. Jimenez-Donaire +12
In this work we study CO isotopologue emission in the largest cluster galaxy sample to date: 48 VERTICO spiral galaxies in Virgo. We show for the first time in a significant sample…
Does the HCN/CO ratio trace the star-forming fraction of gas? II. Variations in CO and HCN Emissivity
Ashley R. Bemis, Christine D. Wilson, Piyush Sharda +2
We model emissivities of the HCN and CO transitions using measured properties of clouds found in normal star forming galaxies and more extreme systems. These models are com…
Unraveling the Mystery of the Low CO-to-H Conversion Factor in Starburst Galaxies: RADEX Modeling of the Antennae
Hao He, Christine D. Wilson, Jiayi Sun +3
CO emission has been widely used as a tracer of molecular gas mass. However, it is a long-standing issue to accurately constrain the CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_{\mathrm{CO}…
Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351
Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38
We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
