A Model for the Onset of Self-gravitation and Star Formation in Molecular Gas Governed by Galactic Forces: I. Cloud-scale Gas Motions
Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +10
Modern extragalactic molecular gas surveys now reach the scales of star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs, 20-50 pc). Systematic variations in GMC properties with galaxy environ…
ALMA imaging of C2H emission in the disk of NGC1068
S. Garcia-Burillo, S. Viti, F. Combes +16
We study the feedback of star formation and nuclear activity on the chemistry of molecular gas in NGC1068, a nearby (D=14Mpc) Seyfert 2 barred galaxy, by analyzing if the abundance…
Cloud Scale ISM Structure and Star Formation in M51
Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +17
We compare the structure of molecular gas at pc resolution to the ability of gas to form stars across the disk of the spiral galaxy M51. We break the PAWS survey into pc…
The PdBI Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS). The Role of Spiral Arms in Cloud and Star Formation
E. Schinnerer, S. E. Meidt, D. Colombo +9
The process that leads to the formation of the bright star forming sites observed along prominent spiral arms remains elusive. We present results of a multi-wavelength study of a s…
