Optical Depth Estimates and Effective Critical Densities of Dense Gas Tracers in the Inner Parts of Nearby Galaxy Discs
M. J. Jimenez-Donaire, F. Bigiel, A. K. Leroy +17
High critical density molecular lines like HCN(1-0) or HCO+(1-0) represent our best tool to study currently star-forming, dense molecular gas at extragalactic distances. The optica…
Millimeter-Wave Line Ratios and Sub-beam Volume Density Distributions
Adam K. Leroy, Antonio Usero, Andreas Schruba +11
We explore the use of mm-wave emission line ratios to trace molecular gas density when observations integrate over a wide range of volume densities within a single telescope beam.…
The interstellar medium in Andromeda's dwarf spheroidal galaxies: II. Multi-phase gas content and ISM conditions
Ilse De Looze, Maarten Baes, Diane Cormier +11
We make an inventory of the interstellar medium material in three low-metallicity dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group (NGC147, NGC185 and NGC205). Ancillary HI, CO, Spitze…
Disentangling the ISM phases of the dwarf galaxy NGC 4214 using [CII] SOFIA/GREAT observations
Katja Fahrion, Diane Cormier, Frank Bigiel +9
The [CII] 158 um fine structure line is one of the dominant cooling lines in the interstellar medium (ISM) and is an important tracer of star formation. Recent velocity-resolved st…
HERUS: A CO Atlas from SPIRE Spectroscopy of local ULIRGs
Chris Pearson, Dimitra Rigopoulou, Peter Hurley +10
We present the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) atlas for a complete flux limited sample of local Ultra-Luminous Infra-Red Galaxies as part of the HERschel ULIRG…
The Bluedisk Survey: molecular gas distribution and scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution
D. Cormier, F. Bigiel, J. Wang +8
One of the key goals of the Bluedisk survey is to characterize the impact of gas accretion in disc galaxies in the context of galaxy evolution. It contains 50 disc galaxies in the…
