Do Spectroscopic Dense Gas Fractions Track Molecular Cloud Surface Densities?
Molly J. Gallagher, Adam K. Leroy, Frank Bigiel +22
We use ALMA and IRAM 30-m telescope data to investigate the relationship between the spectroscopically-traced dense gas fraction and the cloud-scale (120 pc) molecular gas surface…

The Star Formation Efficiency per Free Fall Time in Nearby Galaxies
Dyas Utomo, Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy +16
We estimate the star formation efficiency per gravitational free fall time, , from observations of nearby galaxies with resolution matched to the typical size of a Gian…

Cloud-Scale Molecular Gas Properties in 15 Nearby Galaxies
Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Andreas Schruba +16
We measure the velocity dispersion, , and surface density, , of the molecular gas in nearby galaxies from CO spectral line cubes with spatial resolution - pc, matche…
