A Two-Component Probability Distribution Function Describes the mid-IR Emission from the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies

Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Todd A. Thompson +28

High-resolution JWST-MIRI images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal emission with complex substructures that trace dust heated both by massive young stars and the diffuse interstella…

A sensitive, high-resolution, wide-field IRAM NOEMA CO(1-0) survey of the very nearby spiral galaxy IC 342

M. Querejeta, J. Pety, A. Schruba +31

We present a new wide-field 10.75 x 10.75 arcmin^2 (~11x11 kpc^2), high-resolution (theta = 3.6" ~ 60 pc) NOEMA CO(1-0) survey of the very nearby (d=3.45 Mpc) spiral galaxy IC 342.…

The impact of HII regions on Giant Molecular Cloud properties in nearby galaxies sampled by PHANGS ALMA and MUSE

Antoine Zakardjian, Jérôme Pety, Cinthya N. Herrera +36

We identify giant molecular clouds (GMCs) associated with HII regions for a sample of 19 nearby galaxies using catalogs of GMCs and H regions released by the PHANGS-ALMA and PHANGS…

Star Formation Laws and Efficiencies across 80 Nearby Galaxies

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eve C. Ostriker +37

We measure empirical relationships between the local star formation rate (SFR) and properties of the star-forming molecular gas on 1.5 kpc scales across 80 nearby galaxies. These r…

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Mid-infrared emission traces both gas column density and heating at 100 pc scales

Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom, Erik Rosolowsky +48

We compare mid-infrared (mid-IR), extinction-corrected H, and CO (2-1) emission at 70--160 pc resolution in the first four PHANGS-JWST targets. We report correlation strengths,…
