Global Star Formation from z=5e-8 to z=20
Leo Blitz
Starting with the assertion that the problem of isolated, single star formation is essentially solved, this paper examines some of the missing steps needed to go from there to unde…
The Initial Mass Function of GMCs
Leo Blitz, Erik Rosolowsky
The properties of GMCs in several Local Group galaxies are quantified and compared. It is found that the mass spectrum of GMCs varies from galaxy to galaxy. The variations are sign…
GMC Formation in M33: the Role of Pressure
Leo Blitz, Erik Rosolowsky
We present a complete map of the Giant Molecular Clouds in M33 and show that they lie exclusively on filaments of HI. The GMCs are localized on the extended HI filaments, and HI fi…
Dark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies: Latest Density Profile Results
Joshua D. Simon, Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam Leroy +1
We present high-resolution two-dimensional velocity fields in Halpha and CO of the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 2976. Our observations were made at both higher spatial resolution (~75 p…
Dark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies: The First Dark Galaxy?
Joshua D. Simon, Timothy Robishaw, Leo Blitz
We present new HI observations of the high-velocity cloud (HVC) that we resolved near the Local Group dwarf galaxy LGS 3. The cloud is rotating, with an implied mass that makes it…
Local Goup HVCs: Status of the Evidence
Leo Blitz
The evidence for locating the High Velocity Clouds in the Local Group is summarized and evaluated. Recent measurements of the H surface brightness and metallicity of a number of…
