Outside-in Shrinking of the Star-forming Disk of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies
Hong-Xin Zhang, Deidre A. Hunter, Bruce G. Elmegreen +2
We have studied multi-band surface brightness profiles of a representative sample of 34 nearby dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs). Our data include GALEX FUV/NUV, UBV, Hα, and Spitze…
A Molecular Star Formation Law in the Atomic Gas Dominated Regime in Nearby Galaxies
Andreas Schruba, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +11
We use the IRAM HERACLES survey to study CO emission from 33 nearby spiral galaxies down to very low intensities. Using atomic hydrogen (HI) data, mostly from THINGS, we predict th…
A Constant Molecular Gas Depletion Time in Nearby Disk Galaxies
F. Bigiel, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +8
We combine new sensitive, wide-field CO data from the HERACLES survey with ultraviolet and infrared data from GALEX and Spitzer to compare the surface densities of H2, Sigma_H2, an…
