Molecular Gas Properties and CO-to-H2 Conversion Factors in the Central Kiloparsec of NGC 3351
Yu-Hsuan Teng, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jiayi Sun +16
The CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_\rm{CO}$) is critical to studying molecular gas and star formation in galaxies. The value of $α_\rm{CO}$ has been found to vary within and bet…
The PHANGS-MUSE survey -- Probing the chemo-dynamical evolution of disc galaxies
Eric Emsellem, Eva Schinnerer, Francesco Santoro +45
We present the PHANGS-MUSE survey, a programme using the MUSE IFS at the ESO VLT to map 19 massive nearby (D < 20 Mpc) star-forming disc galaxi…
Low-J CO Line Ratios From Single Dish CO Mapping Surveys and PHANGS-ALMA
Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky, Antonio Usero +32
We measure the low-J CO line ratio R21=CO(2-1)/CO(1-0), R32=CO(3-2)/CO(2-1), and R31 = CO(3-2)/CO(1-0) using whole-disk CO maps of nearby galaxies. We draw CO(2-1) from PHANGS--ALM…
Frequency and nature of central molecular outflows in nearby star-forming disk galaxies
Sophia K. Stuber, Toshiki Saito, Eva Schinnerer +17
Central molecular outflows in spiral galaxies are assumed to modulate their host galaxy's star formation rate by removing gas from the inner region of the galaxy. Outflows consisti…
CHAOS VI: Direct Abundances in NGC 2403
Noah S. J. Rogers, Evan D. Skillman, Richard W. Pogge +4
We report the direct abundances for the galaxy NGC 2403 as observed by the CHemical Abundances Of Spirals (CHAOS) project. Using the Multi-Object Double Spectrograph on the Large B…
PHANGS-ALMA: Arcsecond CO(2-1) Imaging of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies
Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +69
We present PHANGS-ALMA, the first survey to map CO J=2-1 line emission at ~1" ~ 100pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d<~20 Mpc) galaxies that lie on…
PHANGS-ALMA Data Processing and Pipeline
Adam K. Leroy, Annie Hughes, Daizhong Liu +65
We describe the processing of the PHANGS-ALMA survey and present the PHANGS-ALMA pipeline, a public software package that processes calibrated interferometric and total power data…
The organization of cloud-scale gas density structure: high resolution CO vs. 3.6 m brightness contrasts in nearby galaxies
Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Miguel Querejeta +29
In this paper we examine the factors that shape the distribution of molecular gas surface densities on the 150 pc scale across 67 morphologically diverse star-forming galaxies in t…
Applying the Tremaine-Weinberg Method to Nearby Galaxies: Stellar Mass-Based Pattern Speeds, and Comparisons with ISM Kinematics
Thomas G. Williams, Eva Schinnerer, Eric Emsellem +22
We apply the Tremaine-Weinberg method to 19 nearby galaxies using stellar mass surface densities and velocities derived from the PHANGS-MUSE survey, to calculate (primarily bar) pa…
Giant Molecular Cloud Catalogues for PHANGS-ALMA: Methods and Initial Results
Erik Rosolowsky, Annie Hughes, Adam K. Leroy +26
We present improved methods for segmenting CO emission from galaxies into individual molecular clouds, providing an update to the CPROPS algorithms presented by Rosolowsky & Leroy…
The PHANGS-HST Survey: Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS with the Hubble Space Telescope
Janice C. Lee, Bradley C. Whitmore, David A. Thilker +51
The PHANGS program is building the first dataset to enable the multi-phase, multi-scale study of star formation across the nearby spiral galaxy population. This effort is enabled b…
