Physical Properties of Molecular Clouds at 2 parsec Resolution in the Low-Metallicity Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822 and the Milky Way

Andreas Schruba, Adam K. Leroy, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +6

We present the ALMA survey of CO(2-1) emission from the 1/5 solar metallicity, Local Group dwarf galaxy NGC 6822. We achieve high (0.9 arcsec ~ 2 pc) spatial resolution while cover…

CO/CO Gradients Across the Disks of Nearby Spiral Galaxies

M. J. Jimenez-Donaire, D. Cormier, F. Bigiel +14

We use the IRAM Large Program EMPIRE and new high-resolution ALMA data to measure 13CO(1-0)/C18O(1-0) intensity ratios across nine nearby spiral galaxies. These isotopologues of CO…

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…

A revised planetary nebula luminosity function distance to NGC 628 using MUSE

K. Kreckel, B. Groves, F. Bigiel +5

Distance uncertainties plague our understanding of the physical scales relevant to the physics of star formation in extragalactic studies. The planetary nebulae luminosity function…

ALMA Reveals the Molecular Medium Fueling the Nearest Nuclear Starburst

Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Eve C. Ostriker +11

We use ALMA to derive the mass, length, and time scales associated with the nuclear starburst in NGC 253. This region forms ~2 M_sun/yr of stars and resembles other starbursts in s…
