On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation
Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +23
Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, sup…
Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies
Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28
It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…
Molecular Gas Properties on Cloud Scales Across the Local Star-forming Galaxy Population
Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer +34
Using the PHANGS-ALMA CO (2-1) survey, we characterize molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across 102,778 independent sightlines in 70 nearby galaxies. This yields th…
Ubiquitous velocity fluctuations throughout the molecular interstellar medium
J. D. Henshaw, J. M. D. Kruijssen, S. N. Longmore +23
The density structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) determines where stars form and release energy, momentum, and heavy elements, driving galaxy evolution. Density variations ar…
PHANGS CO kinematics: disk orientations and rotation curves at 150 pc resolution
Philipp Lang, Sharon E. Meidt, Erik Rosolowsky +24
We present kinematic orientations and high resolution (150 pc) rotation curves for 67 main sequence star-forming galaxies surveyed in CO (2-1) emission by PHANGS-ALMA. Our measurem…
Dynamical Equilibrium in the Molecular ISM in 28 Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies
Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eve C. Ostriker +26
We compare the observed turbulent pressure in molecular gas, , to the required pressure for the interstellar gas to stay in equilibrium in the gravitational potent…
CHAOS IV: Gas-Phase Abundance Trends From The First Four CHAOS Galaxies
Danielle A. Berg, Richard W. Pogge, Evan D. Skillman +4
The chemical abundances of spiral galaxies, as probed by HII regions across their disks, are key to understanding the evolution of galaxies over a wide range of environments. We pr…
