Carbon Monoxide Clouds at Low-Metallicity in the WLM Galaxy
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Monica Rubio, Deidre A. Hunter +3
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the primary tracer for interstellar clouds where stars form, yet CO has never been detected in galaxies with an Oxygen abundance relative to Hydrogen less t…
A high-dispersion molecular gas component in nearby galaxies
Anahi Caldu-Primo, Andreas Schruba, Fabian Walter +5
We present a comprehensive study of the velocity dispersion of the atomic (HI) and molecular (H2) gas components in the disks (R < R25) of a sample of 12 nearby spiral galaxies wit…
Clumping and the Interpretation of kpc-Scale Maps of the Interstellar Medium: Smooth HI and Clumpy, Variable H2 Surface Density
Adam K. Leroy, Cheoljong Lee, Andreas Schruba +6
Many recent models consider the structure of individual interstellar medium (ISM) clouds as a way to explain observations of large parts of galaxies. To compare such models to obse…
Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Disk Galaxies
Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter, Karin Sandstrom +12
We compare molecular gas traced by 12CO(2-1) maps from the HERACLES survey, with tracers of the recent star formation rate (SFR) across 30 nearby disk galaxies. We demonstrate a fi…
