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…

An uncertainty principle for star formation - IV. On the nature and filtering of diffuse emission

Alexander P. S. Hygate, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mélanie Chevance +3

Diffuse emission is observed in galaxies in many tracers across the electromagnetic spectrum, including tracers of star formation, such as H and ultraviolet (UV), and tracers of…

Modeling ionized gas in low-metallicity environments: the Local Group dwarf galaxy IC10

F. L. Polles, S. C. Madden, V. Lebouteiller +9

Our objective is to investigate the physical properties of the ionised gas of the low-metallicity dwarf galaxy, IC 10, at various spatial scales: from individual HII regions to the…

An uncertainty principle for star formation -- III. The characteristic emission time-scales of star formation rate tracers

Daniel T. Haydon, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mélanie Chevance +4

We recently presented a new statistical method to constrain the physics of star formation and feedback on the cloud scale by reconstructing the underlying evolutionary timeline. Ho…

A 50 pc scale view of star formation efficiency across NGC 628

K. Kreckel, C. Faesi, J. M. D. Kruijssen +16

Star formation is a multi-scale process that requires tracing cloud formation and stellar feedback within the local (<kpc) and global galaxy environment. We present first results f…

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…
