A Survey for Hydroxyl in the THOR Pilot Region around W43

Andrew J. Walsh, Henrik Beuther, Simon Bihr +14

We report on observations of the hydroxyl radical (OH) within The H{\sc I}, OH Recombination line survey (THOR) pilot region. The region is bounded approximately between Galactic c…

Dense Gas Fraction and Star Formation Efficiency Variations in the Antennae Galaxies

Frank Bigiel, Adam K. Leroy, Leo Blitz +5

We use the CARMA millimeter interferometer to map the Antennae Galaxies (NGC4038/39), tracing the bulk of the molecular gas via the 12CO(1-0) line and denser molecular gas via the…

Modeling the physical properties in the ISM of the low-metallicity galaxy NGC4214

A. Dimaratos, D. Cormier, F. Bigiel +1

We present a model for the interstellar medium of NGC4214 with the objective to probe the physical conditions in the two main star-forming regions and their connection with the sta…

Variations in the Star Formation Efficiency of the Dense Molecular Gas across the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies

Antonio Usero, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +9

We present a new survey of HCN(1-0) emission, a tracer of dense molecular gas, focused on the little-explored regime of normal star-forming galaxy disks. Combining HCN, CO, and inf…

THOR - The HI, OH, Recombination Line Survey of the Milky Way - The pilot study: HI observations of the giant molecular cloud W43

S. Bihr, H. Beuther, J. Ott +30

To study the atomic, molecular and ionized emission of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), we have initiated a Large Program with the VLA: 'THOR - The HI, OH, Recombination Line survey…

Gas-phase metallicity profiles of the Bluedisk galaxies: Is metallicity in a local star-formation regulated equilibrium?

David Carton, Jarle Brinchmann, Jing Wang +6

As part of the Bluedisk survey we analyse the radial gas-phase metallicity profiles of 50 late-type galaxies We compare the metallicity profiles of a sample of HI-rich galaxies aga…

The Herschel Dwarf Galaxy Survey: I. Properties of the low-metallicity ISM from PACS spectroscopy

D. Cormier, S. C. Madden, V. Lebouteiller +17

The far-infrared (FIR) lines are key tracers of the physical conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM) and are becoming workhorse diagnostics for galaxies throughout the universe…
