The Atlas3D project -- I. A volume-limited sample of 260 nearby early-type galaxies: science goals and selection criteria

Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem, Davor Krajnovic +23

The Atlas3D project is a multi-wavelength survey combined with a theoretical modeling effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimeter and optical, and provide multi-…

Unusually Luminous Giant Molecular Clouds in the Outer Disk of M33

F. Bigiel, A. Bolatto, A. Leroy +5

We use high spatial resolution (~7pc) CARMA observations to derive detailed properties for 8 giant molecular clouds (GMCs) at a galactocentric radius corresponding to approximately…

The Allen Telescope Array Pi GHz Sky Survey I. Survey Description and Static Catalog Results for the Bootes Field

Geoffrey C. Bower, Steve Croft, Garrett Keating +50

The Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) is a key project of the Allen Telescope Array. PiGSS is a 3.1 GHz survey of radio continuum emission in the extragalactic sky with an emphasis on syno…

CARMA Survey Toward Infrared-bright Nearby Galaxies (STING): Molecular Gas Star Formation Law in NGC4254

Nurur Rahman, Alberto D. Bolatto, Tony Wong +11

This study explores the effects of different assumptions and systematics on the determination of the local, spatially resolved star formation law. Using four star formation rate (S…

Tightly Correlated HI and FUV Emission in the Outskirts of M83

F. Bigiel, A. Leroy, M. Seibert +4

We compare sensitive HI data from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) and deep far UV (FUV) data from GALEX in the outer disk of M83. The FUV and HI maps show a stunning spatial c…

Extremely Inefficient Star Formation in the Outer Disks of Nearby Galaxies

F. Bigiel, A. Leroy, F. Walter +4

(Abridged) We combine data from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey and the GALEX Nearby Galaxy Survey to study the relationship between atomic hydrogen (HI) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) emis…

Tidal Imprints of a Dark Sub-Halo on the Outskirts of the Milky Way II. Perturber Azimuth

Sukanya Chakrabarti, Leo Blitz

We extend our analysis of the observed disturbances on the outskirts of the HI disk of the Milky Way. We employ the additional constraints of the phase of the modes of the observed…

The Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey - A 690-Square-Degree, 12-Epoch Radio Dataset - I: Catalog and Long-Duration Transient Statistics

Steve Croft, Geoffrey C. Bower, Rob Ackermann +48

We present the Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey (ATATS), a multi-epoch (12 visits), 690 square degree radio image and catalog at 1.4GHz. The survey is designed to det…

Formation of slowly rotating early-type galaxies via major mergers: a Resolution Study

M. Bois, F. Bournaud, E. Emsellem +21

We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich and gas-poor major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly-rotating elliptical galaxies often requires a res…
