Kinematics of HI Envelopes Associated with Molecular Clouds
Thummim Mekuria, Nia Imara
We investigate the evolution of molecular clouds through the kinematics of their atomic hydrogen (HI) envelopes, using and 21-cm emission to trace the molecular…
The Global Structure of Molecular Clouds: I. Trends with Mass and Star Formation Rate
Nia Imara, John C. Forbes
We introduce a model for the large-scale, global 3D structure of molecular clouds. Motivated by the morphological appearance of clouds in surface density maps, we model clouds as c…
ALMA Observations of the Molecular Clouds in NGC 625
Nia Imara, Ilse De Looze, Christopher M. Faesi +1
We present the highest resolution (1") CO(1-0) observations of molecular gas in the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 625, to date, obtained with ALMA. Molecular gas is distributed…
The Life Cycle of Dust
Sarah Sadavoy, Mikako Matsuura, Lee Armus +24
Dust offers a unique probe of the interstellar medium (ISM) across multiple size, density, and temperature scales. Dust is detected in outflows of evolved stars, star-forming molec…
ALMA Observations of Giant Molecular Clouds in the Starburst Dwarf Galaxy Henize 2-10
Nia Imara, Christopher M. Faesi
We present new CO(J=1-0) observations of Henize 2-10, a blue compact dwarf galaxy about 8.7 Mpc away, taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. These are the highest…
A Model Connecting Galaxy Masses, Star Formation Rates, and Dust Temperatures Across Cosmic Time
Nia Imara, Abraham Loeb, Benjamin D. Johnson +2
We investigate the evolution of dust content in galaxies from redshifts z=0 to z=9.5. Using empirically motivated prescriptions, we model galactic-scale properties -- including hal…
