The VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA): The Xco Gradient in NGC 628
Guillermo A. Blanc, Andreas Schruba, Neal J. Evans +13
We measure the radial profile of the 12CO(1-0) to H_2 conversion factor (Xco) in NGC 628. The Hαemission from the VENGA integral field spectroscopy is used to map the star formatio…
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor and Dust-to-Gas Ratio on Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies
K. M. Sandstrom, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +42
We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneo…
The Star Formation Relation in Nearby Galaxies
Andreas Schruba
I review observational studies of the large-scale star formation process in nearby galaxies. A wealth of new multi-wavelength data provide an unprecedented view on the interplay of…
Little Things
Deidre A. Hunter, Dana Ficut-Vicas, Trisha Ashley +14
We present LITTLE THINGS (Local Irregulars That Trace Luminosity Extremes, The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey) that is aimed at determining what drives star formation in dwarf galaxies. T…
Low CO Luminosities in Dwarf Galaxies
Andreas Schruba, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +10
[Abridged] We present maps of CO 2-1 emission covering the entire star-forming disks of 16 nearby dwarf galaxies observed by the IRAM HERACLES survey. The data have 13 arcsec angul…
Estimating the Star Formation Rate at 1 kpc Scales in Nearby Galaxies
Adam K. Leroy, Frank Bigiel, W. J. G. de Blok +9
Using combinations of Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) emission, we estimate the star formation rate (SFR) surface density, Σ_SFR, at 1 kpc resolution for 30 disk galaxies t…
