From Scaling Relations to Physical Laws: Constraining the Physics of Star Formation Across Local Galaxies
Jakob den Brok, Cecilia Bacchini, Leindert A. Boogaard +21
The conversion of cold dense gas, traced by molecular line emission, into stars remains one of the fundamental unsolved problems in galaxy evolution. Observations over the past dec…
Molecular atlas of nearby galaxies through sensitive high-resolution multi-band molecular line surveys
Mathilde Bouvier, Erica Behrens, Laura Colzi +21
Star formation and associated feedback processes play a key role in galaxy evolution. Astrochemistry is a powerful tool for characterising the physical conditions of dense star-for…
Tracking the flow of interstellar gas across scales: from galaxies to star clusters
Ana Duarte-Cabral, Maxime Valeille-Manet, Mathilde Bouvier +30
While the baryon cycle of the interstellar medium - and its ability to form stars - plays a key role in galaxy evolution, unravelling the physical processes driving its evolution r…
Resolving the Assembly of Disk Galaxies from the Epoch of Reionisation to Cosmic Noon
Melanie Kaasinen, Mahsa Kohandel, Francesca Rizzo +45
Most of the mass and angular momentum of today's disk galaxies assembled at . Yet, it remains unclear how these galaxies acquired their gas, how their baryons and dark matter…
The Birth and Early Feedback of Massive Star Clusters Across the Local Universe
Jiayi Sun, Rebecca C. Levy, Cecilia Bacchini +11
Young massive star clusters (YMCs; ) represent a distinct, extreme mode of star formation and the closest present-day analogues of the environments in wh…
Quantifying the decline in CO(2-1) intensity around PHANGS-HST star clusters: Constraints on molecular gas dispersal, stellar feedback, and cluster formation efficiency
Hao He, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +37
We combine the largest survey of star clusters in nearby galaxies to-date, PHANGS-HST, with maps of molecular gas maps from PHANGS-ALMA to constrain the efficiency of cluster forma…
A steep mass transition for bar-driven ISM structuring revealed by PHANGS-JWST
Eric Emsellem, Jessica Sutter, Ryan Chown +26
Galactic bars play a critical role in the secular evolution of their hosts by reorganising the ISM. We use a sample of 57 star-forming disc galaxies observed with JWST at 3 and 7.7…
From gas to stars along the spiral wave: CO, HCN, and star formation variations across the spiral arms in NGC 4321 and M51
Minou Greve, Lukas Neumann, Mallory Thorp +17
Molecular clouds form stars from the interstellar medium via gravitational collapse, following a sequence from low-density gas to high-density cores and eventually the formation of…
The PHANGS-Hα survey. Ground-based narrow-band imaging of nearby star-forming galaxies
Alessandro Razza, Guillermo A. Blanc, Brent Groves +36
We present PHANGS-Hα, a narrow-band imaging survey that maps Hα emission over a sample of 65 nearby massive star-forming galaxies. The data were obtained using the MPG-ESO 2.2-mete…
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.…
Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN). IV. Extent of active galactic nucleus feedback on the interstellar medium
Mallory D. Thorp, Antonio Usero, Frank Bigiel +19
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are intertwined with galaxy evolution, injecting energy into the interstellar medium (ISM) that could regulate star formation as a galaxy evolves. Howe…
Imaging the disk-halo interface of NGC 891: a 2.7 kpc-thick molecular gas disk
D. Jiménez-López, S. García-Burillo, M. Querejeta +2
Halos surrounding spiral galaxies act as the bridges connecting the galactic disk and the intergalactic medium (IGM). They host a significant fraction of the baryonic mass in the U…
Molecular gas and star formation in central rings across nearby galaxies
Damian R. Gleis, Sophia K. Stuber, Eva Schinnerer +20
Nearby galaxies exhibit a variety of structures, including central rings, similar to the MW Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). These rings are common in barred galaxies and can be gas-r…
