Distances to PHANGS Galaxies: New Tip of the Red Giant Branch Measurements and Adopted Distances

Gagandeep S. Anand, Janice C. Lee, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +29

PHANGS-HST is an ultraviolet-optical imaging survey of 38 spiral galaxies within ~20 Mpc. Combined with the PHANGS-ALMA, PHANGS-MUSE surveys and other multiwavelength data, the dat…

On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation

Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +23

Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, sup…

SOFIA/FIFI-LS Full-disk [CII] Mapping and CO-dark Molecular Gas across the Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 6946

F. Bigiel, I. de Looze, A. Krabbe +17

We present SOFIA/FIFI-LS observations of the [CII] 158m cooling line across the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946. We combine these with UV, IR, CO, and H I data to compare [CII] em…

ALMA Resolves Giant Molecular Clouds in a Tidal Dwarf Galaxy

M. Querejeta, F. Lelli, E. Schinnerer +12

Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are gravitationally bound condensations of gas and stars formed during galaxy interactions. Here we present multi-configuration ALMA observations of J10…

Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28

It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…

MeerKAT HI commissioning observations of MHONGOOSE galaxy ESO 302-G014

W. J. G. de Blok, E. Athanassoula, A. Bosma +43

We present the results of three commissioning HI observations obtained with the MeerKAT radio telescope. These observations make up part of the preparation for the forthcoming MHON…
